Default May Pickups

It's been a rough going trying to find the last 10 postcards for my collection. Want to share this cool piece of New York history though:



And here's the transcription I've made:
September the 9th 1762 Received of Capt. Jacob Rutsen the sum of fifteen pounds one shilling and Nine pence In full of all accounts and Demand, and also one pound fifteen shillings In full for Costs I say Received for me
A Hasbrouck

Colonel Abraham Hasbrouck was a pre-revolutionary military man in Kingston, NY. His house (which burned twice within the span of a year) is still standing near the end of Green Street where it is now oddly, an Airbnb. He also wrote a diary, a copy of which still exists.
