Document (MDC:10).
"This day, date underwritten, before me Cornelis Van Tienhoven, secretary, in the presence of the undersigned witnesses, appeared Wolphert Gerritsen and
Gerrit Wolphertsen, as guardians of Lambert Cornelissen Cool, and at the request of said Lambert Cool, have permitted him to go with his cattle to his
brother-in-law Claes Jansen, in order to take up together some plantation or farm, and we the principals in the capacity aforesaid have consented hereto as
we are bound in the place of father and mother to promote the above named Lambert Cool's interest and we cannot perceive that he will earn anything,
much less prosper so long as he remains with his father, Cornelis Lambertsen. We have therefore considered it advisable to permit him to do something for
himself in company aforesaid. Done at Fort Amsterdam the 22 of August 1639.
This is the mark x of Wolphert Gerritsen
This is the mark x of Gerrit Wolphertsen
Maurits Jan and Frerick Lubbertsen ; witnesses
"Consent of the guardians of Lambert Cornelissen Cool to let Cool remove his
cattle and take up a farm with his brother-in-law Claes Jansen"
"Copied with slight variations from E.B. O'Callaghan's manuscript translation
of the original in the New York Colonial MSS., Vol. I, p. 155, which was
destroyed in the Capitol fire of March 29, 1911, Albany, October 4, 1933 ;
signed A.J.F. van Laer."
