76/2640 [Haarlem]. Copia. Extract uit het Testament van Wylen Vrouwen van der Graas Wed. van Wylen de Heer Hoofdman van Diepenbroek. Overleden binnen Haarlem. N.pl., n.publ., n.d. (±1780), (8)p., contemp. wr.

- Upper outer corner waterstained throughout; margins strengthened w. sl. loss of letters (and occas. an entire word [restored in manuscript]).

= Interesting and rare small publication, being a contemporary response to the manner in which the Mennonite Maria van der Graas (of Haarlem) bequeathed the fortune that she had inherited from her extremely wealthy husband Matthijs Hooftman van Diepenbroek (1728-1761), i.a. to 54 debtors whom she released from the obligation to repay her. The wealth of Matthijs Hooftman was said to be around 600.000 guilders. The orphans of the "Weeshuis van de Vlaamse en Waterlandse gemeente" (the orphanage of the Flemish and Waterland congregation), of which she had been a governess from 1771 onwards, also received considerable donations. The first part of the Extract lists the names of the 54 debtors who benefitted from her inheritance and the money that they received. The second part of the work consists of an anonymous poem titled Jaloersche gedachten By het leezen van de Gedrukte Copia Uit het Testament, Van Wylen de Edelmoedige vrouwe Van der Graas. In it the author laments the fact that he, who was born "In een geringe staat gantsch sobertjes" had never been favoured by Fortune. None of his relatives had ever donated any money to him. The fact that Maria van der Graas not only had bequeathed the money that the 54 most benefitted persons owed to her, but also returned to them all the interest that they had paid her, mortifies the author. Interestingly enough, 5 debtors were not released from their obligations, which the author considers to be a great injustice. Possibly the author was one of those 5 debtors....
