This letter, written in January 1622, outlines a diplomatic and military situation between the kingdoms of Siam (modern-day Thailand) and Cambodia, involving the Dutch (referred to as Holland). Here’s a summary:

• The writer (likely the king of Siam) acknowledges gifts and goodwill from the recipient (likely a Dutch official or representative) but notes that Captain Jacob (a Dutch captain) had been busy, delaying a proper response.
• Two servants—Kon, Annave, Chidt Rachdy, and Mintsinementherij—are sent under the recommendation of Captain Cornelis van Nijenhoode to deliver the letter and a small token of gratitude. They are also tasked with verbally expressing the king’s goodwill.
• The letter explains that Cambodia had long been under the authority of Siam. After the death of a loyal governor named Kraferij Soubkaima de Raya, his son, 't Chesta, wrongfully seized power without approval. This act angered the king of Siam, who sent his army and navy to restore order and bring Cambodia back under control.
• The king emphasizes the importance of friendship between Siam and Holland, stating that their alliance is strong and should not be broken. He asks the Dutch to support this mission, as it benefits both kingdoms.
• The Dutch fleet is already prepared to sail from Siam to Cambodia within the month of January 1622. The king hopes the Dutch will send experienced officials to assist in governing Cambodia once order is restored.
• The letter concludes by reaffirming the deep friendship between the two nations and urging the Dutch to take decisive action to maintain their strong bond. The king assures that Siam will do everything in its power to uphold the alliance.

The text discusses the role and responsibilities of interpreters at external trading posts, emphasizing the need for trustworthy individuals with deep knowledge of local customs, laws, and traditions.

• Interpreters were carefully selected based on their loyalty and expertise in local matters. They played a key role in legal and administrative issues involving local communities.
• Interpreters could face serious consequences if complaints arose about their handling of local affairs. They might be summoned, questioned, arrested, or punished by the governor.
• An example is given of Evert Jansz, an interpreter who was arrested in Macassar in 1753 over a dispute involving enslaved individuals on the ship De Tijdzaamheid. He was only released after proving his innocence and justifying his actions, though he was fined 2,526.25 guilders.
• Another interpreter, Frans Fransz, was arrested by the Macassar government despite having followed written orders from resident Beems. This shows that interpreters could still face penalties even when acting on official instructions.
• Local rulers often gathered with interpreters before official meetings to discuss important issues. Interpreters directed local affairs and ensured that decisions from these meetings were carried out.
• Residents (local Dutch officials) had the authority to act against decisions made by local assemblies if those decisions conflicted with Dutch interests or local laws.

This document discusses the sale of enslaved people by the Council of Justice of Batavia Castle (in Batavia, present-day Jakarta) and the rules governing such sales between 1664 and 1691.

• Enslaved individuals were sold "as is" (voetstoots), meaning buyers could not return or cancel the purchase for any reason, even if flaws or issues were discovered later.
• This rule was recorded in a sales book (venduboek) in May 1691, but it was unclear who authorized this change or why.
• Other officials, such as the secretaries of the Honorable College of Aldermen and the Orphan Masters, did not have similar written conditions for movable goods. Instead, the auction master kept these rules, including the "as is" clause from 1664 to 1691.
• To prevent future disputes, the Council of Justice requested in 1720 that the "as is" clause be reinstated in the sales book. They also asked for clear rules on fees and auctioneer salaries for fixed goods.
• On February 26, 1726, the Council of the Indies reviewed the request and decided to restore the original clause, as it had been practiced since 1664 and was already included in the city statutes under the section on enslaved individuals (Article 16).

The document was signed by B:s Coop â groen and submitted to the Council of the Indies for final approval.

On 30 September 1666, in Palembang, Chinese shopkeepers were allowed to bring their goods to the trading post but remained under the control of their self-proclaimed masters.

After the Commissioner settled matters and inspected the trading post, His Excellency left for Jambi on 28 September 1666. His findings and further actions would be reported in detail to the authorities.

The local leader recently sent a request to Malacca via loaded ships, asking for 1,000 reals in coins—either as a loan or in exchange for the spices he had provided. Though advised against it, he persisted in hope of success.

The escape of the former skipper Springer, who took a small ship with 6 crew members (both Dutch and local), suggested they might turn to piracy. Authorities in Palembang were alerted to watch for them.

Attached were financial records, including trade logs, inventory lists, cash books, and warehouse records from May 1665 to April 1666. The local ruler (Pangeran) also sent a letter in response to one from Pits, along with gifts: 2 rattan mats and 2 elephant tusks.

For the past 4 years, traders from Makassar had brought large numbers of enslaved people (men and women) from Bugis to Palembang, selling them at high prices. These individuals, captured in war by the King of Makassar, were sold as lifelong slaves. Many were sent to the highlands and traded for pepper to work in spice cultivation. As far as known, no free individuals were at the local ruler’s court.

The returning ship Eendracht carried:

• 623,400 catties (units of weight) of black pepper
• 7,623 catties of white pepper

This document discusses a proposal to improve the trade and production of certain types of wood, particularly for military and naval use in the Dutch colonies. Here’s a summary of the key points:

• The proposal aims to reduce the price of 4 specific articles (likely types of wood or goods) by 9%. This would make them more competitive against similar products from France.
• It suggests that small ships could be used to transport these goods, reducing costs and avoiding extra taxes or fees that usually apply to larger colonial trade routes.
• The writer argues that introducing Mahaar wood (a type of timber) would benefit the military and naval departments of the government. There would be a steady demand for it, ensuring consistent profits.
• The proposal mentions Captain Mordy, who is described as highly qualified to oversee this project. He has experience in shipbuilding, particularly in Barbados, and understands the materials and labor needed for docks and construction.
• The writer believes that local workers in the colonies could be trained to build and maintain these docks, making the project sustainable and beneficial for the region.
• The goal is to create a reliable supply of high-quality wood for government use while also generating moderate profits for investors.

On 30 January 1744, permission was granted for a group of people to stay in the colony, specifically on the land called Pamanschan in the area of Kaarsang. The individuals listed were:

• Co M Baird
• L. Hall
• S. Nerland
• H. Opernie
• V. Ginexell
• S. Cousins
• Moodij
• P. Hardie

The necessary documents were to be given to those involved. A copy of this decision was sent to the Resident of Kaarsang for information and follow-up.

Additionally, H. H. Gelsken received a letter from the Lieutenant General, the commander of the troops, dated 22 January 1744. This letter informed him that the Dutch private ship Concordia, captained by Vesedore Willems, had arrived at the Rede van Batavia (the roadstead of Batavia) the day before. A detachment of troops had been sent to the ship. According to the enclosed muster roll dated 30 January 1621, the detachment consisted of:

• 1 First Lieutenant (de Louis)
• 1 Armourer (S. Ansums)
• 4 Ensigns
• 1 Drummer
• 41 Corporals
• 41 Musketeers
• A total of 162 men

The letter also noted that the soldiers had behaved well during the journey, the supplies were of good quality, and the troops had been registered according to the muster roll. The service records of the mentioned officer were included for consideration regarding their placement. The Lieutenant General approved the proposal for the officer's placement.

The letter was accepted for information, and a copy of the muster roll was included to confirm the arrival of the detachment.

On 30 January 1524, a payment was approved equal to two months' salary as compensation for relocation costs. The Algemeene Askerkamer (General War Department) and involved parties were informed for follow-up.

H. 9. Velcker, widow of Mazia Dickser, requested that her son Gijsbert's pension (from her first marriage to L. Lindeman, a master carpenter) be granted. However, since Lindeman died on 28 February 1811—before the pension rules took effect on 1 July 1811—he never contributed. The request was denied on 30 January 1734.

On the same date, a letter from L. Herarf, M. Quarles & Co. confirmed that the following individuals could stay in Paramaribo to work for the Administrators:

• Ro. N. Baind (born in Perth, Scotland)
• P. Mardie (born in Dalhuith, Scotland)
• Z. Hall (born in Glasgow, Scotland)
• H. Spenrle (born in Stansea, Wales)
• F. Nerrland (born in London, England)
• F. Lousind (born in Bridgnorth, England)
• S. Simerell (born in London, England)
• G. Moodij (born in London, England)

The Resident of Cayenne advised on this on 17 January, and the decision was recorded for future reference, following rules set in 1728.

On 10 November 1632, at Fort Sourousouangh, a group of 3 men and 2 women arrived. They reported that enemies from Macassar were passing by the bay and signaling to pick up deserters. Early the next morning, enemy forces were spotted near the riverbank, where rebel allies were stationed. During a skirmish, one of the Dutch soldiers was seriously wounded in the side, but the rebels retreated to the forest and their forts as usual.

Later that day, another group of 3 men and 2 women arrived from the enemy side. These women had previously been under Keeij Massor and came from the village of Tijcoloer. They shared key information:

• Toparagij had arrived at Tirtalaija with 25 of his people and one Dutchman, under Pangiran Abd-ellaliem.
• Dutch forces had trapped enemies in a fort at Tangirangh, blocking all exits.
• The Javanese near the area had asked the old king for help, who promised reinforcements within 1–2 days.
• The enemies had strengthened their forts along the shores of Tanckorak.
• Around the Tangirangh River, there were 20 Dutch company ships and 7 near Tanara.
• Many common people were expected to defect soon due to hardships, as they could no longer endure their current suffering.
• Pangiran Abd-ellaliem was still at Marcasana with 400 men.

On 11 November 1682, at the same fort, the ships Pijl and Brack were sent to Pitsjock. The next day, a Persian warning letter was opened and read, but no immediate action was taken. On 13 November, small local boats (pantsjalangs) entered the bay, and the yacht De Coopen, led by Captain de Rooij, landed. Pangiran Togia was at Canarij with his forces, but the whereabouts of other leaders remained unknown.

The yachts Pijl and Brack departed that evening for Pitsjock. Skipper Puijt was ordered to return if a cannon was fired from Carrangantoe or if a flag was seen signaling from there.

On 14 November, Major de Gheijn and Senior Merchant de Brieff reviewed a letter from Persian Director Rijcklof van Casembroot, sent to the Dutch East India Company (VOC). They decided not to send an express yacht to Batavia, as the situation wasn’t urgent enough. They would wait for the Macassar ship or another opportunity.

On 15 November, nothing significant happened. That afternoon, company boats and a chialoup from Paliacatta anchored near Pontangs Hoek. Soon after, the yacht Battavise Coopman arrived at the roadstead, along with Captain de Rooij and 3–4 Batavian trading proas near the lodge. The small war fleet had been patrolling between Tanara and Pontang for days.

The Dutch sent ships to Tagal, Banda, and Macassar, starting with the government of Amboina as usual. Following earlier reports from November 29 of the previous year, they prepared for the regular trip to the Eastern regions.

On March 23 and April 9 of this year, three ships were readied for the government:

• Driebergen
• Haringtuijn
• Fluijtbon

On April 12, the Driebergen was sent to Tagal with 50 soldiers to take control and transport a load of rice. It was also sent to Macassar and Banda to deliver 1,220 roof tiles belonging to the government of Amboina. More supplies would be sent soon.

Two small ships, the Ceram and the Kraanvogel, were repaired in Amboina and would be sent to the government after unloading. Their accompanying letters were included in the outgoing mailbook for review.

The plan was to send additional supplies with the remaining two ships, including:

• 60,000 guilders in cash (as requested)
• 50 barrels of meat
• 40 barrels of salted bacon
• 50 soldiers
• Skilled workers
• Other requested supplies by Governor van der Stel and his council, as available.

This section describes testimonies about the behavior and reputation of certain individuals and groups in a historical Dutch colonial context.

• The witness was asked if they knew that Craeng Bira had attacked the interrogator because the interrogator, through the interpreter Muller, had ordered Craeng Bira to hand over his kris (a traditional dagger) to Muller.
• It was commonly said that Craeng Bira had a strong tendency toward gambling, robbery, and murder.
• Locals in the area were known for dishonest practices, such as cheating, stealing, or giving false testimonies under oath for small amounts of money, like a few dubbeltjes (coins) or a small piece of cloth (kloofje sagweere).
• In local assemblies in the southern provinces, when the resident (a Dutch colonial official) proposed sending an important local issue to the Governor and Council in Macassar for decision, the locals often responded by saying it was not their custom. They argued that the resident was their representative and that they should not have to deal directly with the governor, emphasizing their local authority.

This text appears to be a fragmented and partially corrupted list of names, ranks, locations, and dates related to Dutch military or colonial records, likely from the 18th or 19th century. Below is a structured summary based on the readable information:

• The records include names of individuals, such as:
  • Omiel Sleurink Sedrianus
  • Johannes Moodij
  • Charles Sahelapij Joref Bernardus Sichupuping
  • Willem Alexander
  • Frederik Diljouw
  • Johannes Marlinus Naulussij
  • Benjamin Menace
  • Ldenjamin
  • George Theodarus Gelsing
  • Herman Frederik Kempel
  • Ferdinand Willem
  • Jacob Frederik Rithmann Walther
  • Sedelbert Cundermann
• Many of these individuals held military ranks, such as:
  • Guselier (likely a variation of fusilier, a type of soldier)
  • Sergeant der Infanterie (Sergeant of the Infantry)
  • Graden (possibly a rank or title, unclear)
• The records mention several locations, primarily in the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia), including:
  • Cevoorteplaats (likely Cepu, a place in Central Java)
  • Demarang (Semarang, a city in Central Java)
  • Soerabaia (Surabaya, a city in East Java)
  • Ambarawa
  • Lomboina (likely Ambon, an island in the Maluku Islands)
  • Djogonalan (possibly Jogjakarta or a nearby area)
  • Soeraharla (possibly Surakarta, also known as Solo)
  • Celebes (Sulawesi, an island in Indonesia)
  • Bali
  • Haroehoe (possibly Haru or another location)
  • Emboina (likely Amboina, another name for Ambon)
  • Simpang (a region in the Maluku Islands)
  • Alojch (unclear, possibly Aru Islands or another location)
• The text includes references to military units or origins, such as:
  • Rotterdam Infanterie (Infantry from Rotterdam)
  • Quid Holland (possibly "from Holland")
• Some entries note whether individuals were "Hier te lande aangenomen" (accepted or enlisted locally in the colony) or "Uit Nederland vertrokken" (departed from the Netherlands).
• Dates are partially visible but corrupted; some possible years include:
  • 1870
  • 1872
  • 1873
  • 1874
  • 1877
  • 1878

On 10 September 1807, a letter was received in Amsterdam by Mr. Moods from His Excellency Brigadier General Montgomery. The letter included an extract from the records of the Court of Police of the Colony of Demerara, written in English, along with a Dutch translation. The Court of Police was urgently requested to respond to the contents as soon as possible.

Mr. Moods asked for an extraordinary meeting of the Court of Police to be called for this purpose. The writer of the letter, W.G./S.J. van der Hoeven, then requested Mr. L.C. Abbens, the secretary of the Council of Government of Berbice, to inform him when the meeting would be scheduled. This would allow the other members to be officially notified and called to attend.

• The Dutch East India Company (VOC) gave strict orders to a ship’s crew (likely the Buijeren, commanded by Anthonij Baen) to complete their mission as quickly as possible. The goal was to acquire a cargo of rice (at least 50 lasten, or ship loads) and return within 3 months, though delays were expected if rice was scarce.
• If rice was unavailable, the crew could substitute it with:
  • Cut (husked) rice, or
  • Other goods like succadana (a type of resin) from nearby areas like Cottaringa (modern Kutaraja, Aceh) or Ben Jarmassingh.
• The crew was warned not to buy rice prematurely, as 100 lasten of husked rice would not equal 50 lasten of proper rice (due to waste like husks and broken grains). Such shortcuts would not be accepted in the final accounting.
• While anchored near Cottaringa or other ports during loading, the crew had to:
  • Keep strict watch on the ship at all times.
  • Avoid sending too many crew members ashore (only those essential for trade).
  • Ensure the ship was always ready to sail in case of emergencies.
• The crew was ordered to:
  • Encourage traders from Cottaringa, Succadana, Ben Jarmassingh, and nearby regions to sail to Batavia (modern Jakarta), promising them good profits.
  • Attack and seize any ships from enemy nations (e.g., Spanish, Portuguese, or their allies from Johor, Mataram, or Makassar) if encountered at sea without a VOC pass. Goods were to be confiscated (with an inventory), crews detained, and ships burned if they couldn’t be manned.
• The VOC strictly forbade private trade by any crew member (officers, merchants, or sailors). Violations would result in:
  • Dismissal from service.
  • Confiscation of wages and goods.
  • Further punishments as listed in company regulations.
• Specific crew members, such as merchant van Santen and junior merchant Molijn, were tasked with ensuring the cargo was sold quickly and efficiently to procure the required rice for the return voyage.
• The orders were signed in Batavia on 26 February 1632.
• A separate note mentioned a deal involving:
  • The VOC (on behalf of Danish prisoners in Macau).
  • A Portuguese merchant, Anthonio de Costa (based in Makassar).
  • An agreement from 1631 to exchange prisoners between Macau and Batavia, facilitated by the Captain General of Macau.

On February 8, 1717, a formal complaint was raised regarding disputes over property in the areas of Ovenburg and Terder. The issue involved Zeever, also known as Doresche Cosijn or Generale Keegelschens, who had taken the name of the late Wenzer Peter de Dende. Under this assumed name, Zeever had:

• Deceived and manipulated many people to gain money and influence.
• Committed serious crimes, including forgery.
• Sent false messages and notices to various cities, towns, and places the previous week.
• Caused public announcements to be made by drumming (a traditional method of public proclamation) in multiple locations.

The complaint also included a formal declaration (or manifesto) addressed to the authorities.

On 15 April 1721, Ambassador van Borssele van der Hooghe received a document from Mr. Moodij, secretary of the Debt Review Commission. This document was a statement (or balance sheet) showing what the State Commissioners had determined was owed to the Dutch Republic and the certificates issued for those amounts. A copy of this statement and Mr. Moodij's note were sent to the ambassador.

The statement did not explain why the commissioners had rejected three items listed by Lord Slingelandt, even though they had earlier promised to provide a written explanation. Surprisingly, despite earlier assurances, the commissioners had deducted 2.5% from the amount owed to the state.

On the previous Sunday, the ambassador met Lord Cadogan and Mr. Walpole in England, where one of the commissioners was also present. Both Lord Cadogan and Mr. Walpole tried to convince the commissioner that the 2.5% deduction was unjustified. However, the commissioner argued that:

• A past Parliament Act allowed them to deduct 2.5% from all certified sums for public benefit.
• Their current commission had expired, so they could not make any changes.

Mr. Walpole mentioned he would speak to the commissioners again, but this did not lead to any further progress. Lord Cadogan then advised the ambassador that:

• He could provisionally receive debt certificates (debentures) for the amount the commissioners had certified for the state.
• Any incorrect deductions could be addressed and corrected by the next commission.

On 7 April 1613, after addressing a local issue about the forests of this county, officials received a serious request. The Court of Holland and the Royal Inventors had already traveled to England to discuss a shared discovery. In a later letter, they mentioned a "secret invention" that could greatly benefit the States General (the Dutch government).

The request caused some disagreement—some officials were eager to support it, while others were hesitant due to the uncertainty. As a result, the Court of Holland and the Council of Zeeland acknowledged the request but decided to send it to the States General for further action. Key figures involved included Kishel Hinkle and Cart Bathurst.

On 28 April 1798, Iohannes Adolph van Claveren, the First Sworn Clerk of the Colony of Suriname and its rivers and districts, officially recorded a request. This was done in the presence of witnesses.

The request came from Capitein Moodij, the captain of the ship Betsij d’Alexandrica, which sailed to North America. Capitein Moodij presented a handwritten document to the Governor of Suriname, J. H. Frederici. This document was a translated and approved version of a French text, originally written by Van Claveren in his role as Chief Administrator in Cayenne and Roustagueng.

The document included an assignment from the Agent of the Directoire Executif (the ruling government body of France at the time), appointed in French Guiana, named Jeannet. The content of the document stated:

• The Administration of the Marine in Cayenne owed Capitein Moodij, captain of the Betsij d’Alexandrica in North America, a quantity of 48,455 and 3/4 pounds of net cotton.
• This cotton was meant for the Administration of the Marine in Cayenne for the year 1796.

• On 3 December 1861, a legal document was issued at the request of Antonius Arendzen (notary number 239) by notary Rudolph Willem Jan Retsen in Boesborgh, part of the Hutphen district in Pomeie, Gelderland.
• The document states that Hendrikus Ruster, an innkeeper from Doesborgh, acknowledges receiving 920 guilders from Antonius Arendsen, another innkeeper from Doesborgh.
• The 920 guilders came from the funds of the Roman Catholic Poor of Angerlo, currently managed by the Parochial Board of the Roman Catholic Community in Doesborgh.
• Hendrikus Ruster agrees to repay this loan with the following terms:
  • Interest of 4.5% per year, starting from 1 December 1861 and payable annually on 21 November.
  • Interest payments must be made on time, within one month after the due date.
  • The full amount (920 guilders) can be reclaimed early if:
    • Interest payments are missed.
    • The value of the mortgaged property decreases significantly.
    • The property is damaged or at risk of execution (legal seizure).
  • If any of these conditions occur, the Parochial Board (represented by the acting deacon) can demand immediate repayment of the full amount without prior notice or legal action.
• Repayments (both principal and interest) must be made in Dutch currency (standard silver coins) at the current exchange rate, directly to the acting deacon or their legal representative.
• Hendrikus Ruster is responsible for all costs related to:
  • The creation of this document.
  • The loan and mortgage process.
  • Any future notices or demands for repayment.
  • Providing an enforceable copy of this document to the acting deacon.
• To secure the loan, Hendrikus Ruster pledges property as collateral (hypothecation).

On 13 September 1758, a sale agreement was made in Deurburgh (now known as Doorwerth). The document states that a property, including its land and rights, was sold to a buyer for 200 guilders. The buyer agreed to follow all future rules tied to the property.

• The sellers confirmed they received the full payment of 200 guilders and cleared the buyer of any further debt for this amount.
• The agreement was signed in the office of the notary Gerrit Kersten Velvoort.
• Witnesses present included Buren Baddingh and Vuwer, both residents of Verlegh (likely a local area).
• The document was signed by the involved parties (A. Schaars, J.W. Berendsen Arendsen, A.J. de Vereeld Bakhorul, J. Witkemsen Mten Vever, and W. Diksus), the notary (G.K. Velvoort), and the witnesses (B. Buddingh).

The agreement was officially recorded in Deurburgh on 15 September 1758 in register 80, on page 24 (back side), section 3. The registration fee was 11 guilders and 4 cents, broken down as follows:

• 8 guilders for the legal fee.
• 3 guilders and 38 cents for additional taxes.
• The total was collected by the receiver Cocbou.

At a public auction in Doetinchem, several land parcels were sold on an unspecified date. The auction was overseen by notary Gerrit Kistenmaker ter Voort and clerk Hendrik Jan Bloemendaal, with witnesses H. Zillinger, de Ryn, and N. Nuovert present. The following sales took place:

• The second parcel sold for 2,625 guilders to Padlorus Kets, a farmer from Deym (likely Deil), who signed after the reading.
• The third parcel sold for 150 guilders to Frederik Derk Bosman, a farmer from Sommelsdijk, who signed after a long delay.
• The fourth parcel sold for 2,230 guilders to the aforementioned Frederik Bosman, who signed again.
• The fifth parcel sold for 830 guilders to Harmen Hoogenkamp, a tile maker from Diempt (likely Diepenheim), who declared he could neither write nor sign his name.
• The sixth parcel sold for 1,130 guilders to Gerrit Eeltink, a tailor from Diempt, who signed after the reading.
• The seventh parcel sold for 210 guilders to Frederik Arendsen, a farmer from Zelhem. He purchased it for himself, Willem Hendriksen Schoenmaker, and Jan Wessink, both shoemakers from Engels, who were also present and signed.

The eighth, ninth, and tenth parcels received no further bids. The auctioneer, Jaforan, withdrew these last three parcels and kept them. The auction was officially closed, and the notary registered the sales.

The total fees collected for the sales were as follows:

• Parcel 1: 224.40 guilders
• Parcel 2: 107.20 guilders
• Parcels 3 and 4: 105.20 guilders
• Parcel 5: 34 guilders
• Parcel 6: 46.40 guilders
• Parcel 7 (redemption of rents): 2.75 guilders

The total amount collected in fees was 519.95 guilders, plus an additional 38% tax, bringing the total to 717.53½ guilders. The document was registered in Doetinchem on August 8, 1860, with the receiver being Cenbr.

On 22 May 1849, a legal statement was recorded in Doornburg by notary AG Velthuysen. The following people were present and known to the notary:

• Hendrikje Donkers (widow of Willem Polman)
• Evert Donkers
• Willem Donkers
• Maria Donkers
• Gradus Arendsen
• Janna Donkers
• Hendrik Oostendorp
• Jan Hendrik Weijman

Most of the witnesses could not write their names, so Jan Hendrik Weijman and the others confirmed their identities verbally. After the document was read aloud, Jan Hendrik Weijman, the other witnesses, and the notary signed it. The original copy remained with AG Velthuysen.

The document was officially registered in Doornburg on 23 May 1849 in record book 64, page 157. A fee of 80 cents was paid for the legal power of attorney, plus an additional 38 cents, totaling 1 guilder and 10.5 cents. The receiver was Buijn.
