Whichexpecting we commend you as well as friends in general to themerciful protection of the Most High. Your sincere friend Joannes Nevius. By order of the Burgomasters of the City aforesaid.^^ The son of Captain Jacob Loper, Jacob, did not possess thecomforts of his rich married sister. For in the beginning of 1677,he had a dwelling house that lacked chimneys. It is mischievouslysaid, that there is a state in the United States where house-chimneysare such luxuries that every man possesing a house with twochimneys is called colonel. If New York had resembled thisstate in the seventeenth century, it would have been difficult forLopers son to perpetuate the title his father had. For the sonsname is found in the following curiously spelled document, writtenunder English rule. It shows he had a house without a chimney,and reads: 780 The Records of New Amsterdam, 1653-1674. VII., p. 1681.
