Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Jan Eversz Bout, who empowers, as he does hereby, Jan Jansz Damen to sell his interest in the ship St. Piter to whoever he shall think expedient and fit, revoking the power of attorney given to Isaac Allerton,[1] as the term of notice has expired, [ the principal ] further holding as valid whatever shall be done by Jan Damen. Done the [blank] of March 1645, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
