To the honorable lords director general and councilors of New Netherland,

Mr. Jacob Hendricksen chirurgijn shows with due reverence how he was informed that Laurens Duijts is being detained by your honors for some offence. And whereas he, petitioner, gave ƒ165–10 to the same with which he bought oxen—if he has these on hand, the petitioner requests that your honors please allow him to take back the oxen that were bought for his money, so that the petitioner will not suffer damage. Was signed, Jacob Hendricx.

After deliberation it is resolved, that if after the end of the lawsuit Laurens Duijts’ resources are found to be insufficient to pay for the debts, the petitioner shall have equal rights as other creditors. Dated as above.
