[E.B. O'Callaghan (ed.) (1856)] Our Deputies who lately returned from the Hague, have communicated to us, among other matters, your High Mightinesses' resolution of the 16"" instant, wliereby it was resolved and concluded that the letter of recall written on the 27"' April last to Director Stuyvesant, and already issued, shall be revoked and retained until the matter, being thoroughly examined by the Deputies abovementioned, shall then be disposed of by your High Mightinesses, after report thereupon shall have been received; inasniuch as your High Mightinesses have by said resolution prevented the disorders and confusion which by such recall of the Director were encouraged to break out and rise in New Netherland, we cannot neglect most humbly to thank your High Mightinesses therefor, and by this occasion further to request that we may have the honor to be heard betimes, before such Deputies as shall examine the matters aforesaid; trusting that we shall give them such satisfaction respecting the division of the Boundary and all other points that will be proposed to us, as to obviate the necessity of recalling the Director aforesaid. Whereupon awaiting your High Mightinesses' order, we shall here terminate, and pray God Almighty for lasting prosperity of your High Mightinesses' happy government; remaining High and Mighty Lords, Your High Mightinesses' humble servants,
