Stuyvesant To WIC About Denying Freedom of Worship
Jews Ask for Freedom of Worship, Peter Stuyvesant to the Board of the West India Company, Amsterdam, June 10, 1656
Considering the Jewish nation with regard to trade, they are not hindered, but trade with the same privilege and freedom as other inhabitants. Also, they have many times requested of us the free and public exercise of their abominable religion, but this cannot yet be accorded to them. What they may be able to obtain from your Honors time will tell.
