Order to Martin Cregier to furnish supplies to commander Draeyer
Mr. Marten Cregier:
Whereas, Andries Draeyer, the Commandant of Fort Nassau, will
stand in need of some money for the support of that Fort and its garrison, therefore
have I considered it necessary to provide him with credit there; and you are hereby
required to furnish the abovenamed Commander on his order whatever he shall need for
that purpose, until otherwise directed, and not fail every three months to transmit
to me proper account of the same. Whereupon relying, I remain, &c. Dated Fort
Willem Hendrick, the 27th September, 1673.
