A Bond of Performance between Garrett Poor (a carpenter) and Luke von Thinehoon (a "cuirurgoon" [sic]) and Lawrence Read (a merchant) to whom they agree to pay two hundred pounds. [New York], 22 May 1691

From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Horizontal folds, but in very good condition. One page, folio, with integral blank leaf (with docket). Signed by Roos and Thinehovon (followed by red wax stamps) and signed by three witnesses. "The Condicon of this obligation is... that if the above bound... doo well and truely observe, perform, fullfill, accomplish, and keep all and singular the Covenants, grants... which... are or ought to be observed, performed... and kept mentioned and Comprised in one Bill of sale, or Transport from the above bound... (and if performed without fraud)... Then this obligation (is) to be void..." (BA). So, pretty straight-forward!
