The following chief officers will henceforth, in addition to their duties, also be responsible for supervision if any of them are designated and assigned, namely:
Lieutenant Sr. Breijtenbagh will ensure that the workers on the new fortification continue their work daily, including the stone breakers, masons, and other dependents, and that the wagons transporting the stones carry out adequate loads daily. They will also keep an eye on the Company's workers, masons, carpenters, smiths, and others, ensuring that the Company's materials are not used for private work and that these workers remain engaged in continuous work. I will also, along with Lieutenant Sr. Coon and Deputy Merchant Sr. Wittebol, jointly determine how the Company's new fortress is most accurately constructed and progressed. I will also ride out every other week to inspect what the Company's men are doing at the outposts, and report back to the fort.
Lieutenant Sr. Coon will not only be responsible for the Company's stables, wagon makers, etc. retain, but take good care of the armory, and in addition employ Sargeant Jeronimus Croese as Captain of the army, who will then be obliged to report to him at all times on the reception and issue, taking care that nothing is distributed from it without proper order and that the rifle is kept clean, without any strangers coming to know about it, and that the old, unusable rifle be put aside to be sent to the Patria when convenient; will also keep a proper account every month of the fuel supplied by the freemen for the Company; in addition, together with the sub-merchant Sr. Van Dieden will take stock of the sickhouse and, together with sick-comforter Carpius, make rounds once or twice a day to, along with surgeon Jan Schreijer, devise such precautions as will be able to practice for the recovery of the sick and cleansed from the sickhouse, taking care that no idlers refrain from staying there under the pretext of illness, and will report to us about it. Will also keep a watchful eye on the workers on the new fortification and, together with lieutenant Sr. Breitenbagh and surveyor Sr. Wittebol, help to resolve the best, and then ride outside once every other week to make the rounds at 's Comps. The work on the outposts is being carried out and we will report back to the fort.
In addition to carrying out his duties, the fiscal, Mr. Pieter Denijn, will also supervise the Company's crew, house, and vessels, and diligently ensure that the Company's craftsmen, including carpenters, masons, smiths, and others, stick to their work and do not sell or otherwise alter any wood, stone, lime, iron, or other materials used for foreign purposes. He will also, if appropriate, keep an eye on the work on the new fortification.
The deputy merchant, Sr. Crudop will, along with the Secretary, also ensure that his cash register, daily register, and monthly accounts are kept up to date, and from now on, every Saturday, in the presence of Lieutenant Sr. Breitenbagh and Coon, he will issue the daily wages to the workers and bring the paid-off rolls to the trading account, as has always been the custom before.
The sub-merchant Sr. van Dieden will take due care that his pay books never become outdated but are settled monthly alongside his disbursement books, also alongside Lieutenant Sr. Coon and sick-comforter Carpius should keep a close eye on the sickhouse, make rounds there once or twice a day, and, together with surgeon Jan Schreijer, help devise such an order that everything runs smoothly and no idleness is tolerated.
The sub-merchant, Sr. Wittebols, should take great care56 that, in addition to his wine books57, the business books are also settled and everything is properly recorded. He should also keep a close eye on the warehouses, not issuing them without prior notice so that he can be held safe outside of danger, and ensure that everything runs smoothly. Lieutenant Sr. Breitenbagh and Coon keep an eye on the work of the new fortification and help to decide together what should best be done for the continued development and construction of the community.
The sargeant and the captain of the arm Jeronimus Croese will be under the supervision of the lieutenant and Sr. Coon talking about the weapons camera, and ensuring that they were properly used, taking over everything that had been committed to his responsibility and keeping it diligent and clean, pertinently noting water on the account and being supplied again, not surrendering without ordinance to having to account for it on its own monthly basis; I will also observe that no strangers, yes, no one With this in mind, so that no old goods are exchanged for new, all old and unusable guns, etc., will be set aside and any that can be repaired will be repaired. They will also ensure that no water leaks, etc., occur. If anything is discovered, they will immediately inform the chief mason and have him help them.
This is all that I have deemed necessary for the first time, and I will jointly arrange this, and this is only provisional, until the time the Reverend Mr. Goske arrives here, to whom the continuation or modification of this deferral will be assigned.
