He says further to have had bacon in no other houses [      ] does not know who had the bacon brought to him here; his [      ] and another young man, who lives at Jan de Kuyper's fetched the bacon from Cornelis de Timmerman and brought it to his place. He says that he sometimes had his wife's brother fetch a ham. Done at New Amsterdam in New Netherland, 25 November 1654.
