Order rejecting Hendrick Wagerman's petition for additional compensation for guns sold
Received the petition of Hendrick Wagerman, remonstrating that the commissary Van Brugge, in the year 1655 in September had [ eight ] guns fetched in his absence; which guns he, Wagerman, had to accept from Tomas Page [Jonge], Englishman, in payment for work, at 20 gl. for each, and whereas he has only been paid ƒ100 until now for the eight guns, he requests that the remainder, being ƒ60, might be made good to him.
After due deliberation it was resolved [several lines lost][i]
Done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 3rd of January anno
