The document states that Cornelius Gystertse, Harpert Jacobse, and Gerrit Viele are bound to the people and city of Albany for the sum of 50 pounds. It then goes on to explain that the three men have a pass from the Governor to trade with the Indians of Ottowa, and if they decide not to trade with the Indians of the 5 Nations for peltry, then the current financial obligation will be declared void.
