Memorandum of the expenses incurred by me as well as the damage done to me aboard the ship Abrams Offerhande at the time that your esteemed honors seized the Swedish ship in September anno 1654.

First of all, about 50 persons, both soldiers and other people came on board my ship named Abrams Offerhande, whom I had to feed for about 6 to 7 days ƒ60,–

During which time about 10 to 12 kans of

my brandy were consumed ƒ18,–

Without my knowledge the soldiers drank

up a half pijp of beer in the hold of the ship ƒ20,– Stole 3 of my cushion covers and 2 bottles ƒ12,– Total ƒ110,–

(was signed) Pieter Luycassen

At the session, the accompanying petition and account being received, it was resolved after due deliberation: The petitioner is granted for completed expenses and otherwise the sum of eighty guilders, which will be paid to him from the treasury at the first opportunity, or which will be validated in payment of recognition fees. Done at Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 10th of November anno 1656.
