Translation

Whereas, because of the departure of Vincent Pickes and Jan Montagne de Jonge, former clerks in the service of the Company for the assistance of the commissary Van Brugge, it was impossible to carry out the daily business of properly managing the books alone without assistance as is appropriate, he was then allowed to take on Matthijs Capito as a good bookkeeper for putting the accounts thereof in order [ ] cannot very well [ ] to Capito; therefore, it is resolved to allow Matthijs Capito for work done, instead of the 3 guilders that he requests, ƒ2:10 daily up to today and not longer. Done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 27th of December anno 1656.
