Commentary
Notes:
- 1735/6 — January 1736 new style, the split year convention again.
- “Coste Proeft van de Potont” — “costs and proof of the patent” — this is a more specific phrase than the simple “voor de paetent” in the earlier Van Alstyn receipt. “Proeft” suggests survey costs, legal fees, or the formal proving of the patent boundaries — the administrative work of getting a patent confirmed and recorded.
- This is the second Van Alstyn patent receipt, the earlier one being BH039 dated 1731. Together they suggest Burger was reimbursing Van Alstyn in installments for shared patent expenses over at least two years.
