• On 29 November 1726, a report from Siam discussed the trade of a heavy mineral called tical swaerte, which was valued at 8¾ mat.
• The 21 Commissioners (a governing group) had approved starting trade operations after the departure of two ships, the Coningcarel and the Risdam.
• The plan was to send a small amount of gold—or as much as possible—along with a portion of the requested elephant tusks to a highly respected official (referred to as "uw Edel hoog agtb:") with the ship Vesserhooft around early December 1726.
• The goal was to invest between 70,000 and 80,000 rijksdaalders (or more) into this mineral trade, following the official’s respected intentions.
• To ensure accuracy, they respectfully requested that an assayer (a specialist in testing metals) be sent to them, as they had already received the necessary tools for testing but needed expertise to use them properly.
• They promised to handle the matter with great care and precision.

• The letter mentions an earlier ship, the Thoff niet altijd Winter, which left Samarang on 16 April carrying a load of salt.
• It includes another letter meant to accompany a person referred to as "the prince" (Engenius).
• The writers state that this accompanying letter should be sent quickly to Batavia with the departure of the messenger.

On 28 November 1725, a document was sent from Siam (modern-day Thailand) to Governor-General Matthijs de Haan and the Council of the Dutch Indies in Batavia (modern-day Jakarta). The letter included records of a ship’s cargo and expenses.

The letter also reported that on 16 November 1725, the leaders of the ship Risdam—Captain Hendrik Schoon and Bookkeeper Barend Hölscher—arrived in Siam. They had left Batavia on 7 June 1725, stopped in Ligor (modern-day Nakhon Si Thammarat) on 14 July 1725, and departed again on 15 August 1725.

The ship carried two important letters:

• A letter from the Council of the Dutch Indies, dated 7 June 1725.
• A letter from the Dutch representative in Ligor.

The writers expressed surprise that the representative in Ligor had ignored earlier orders from De Haan and the Council, specifically those sent on 29 July 1724. These orders had criticized the weak trade purchases in the region.

On 29 November 1736, a letter from Siam (modern-day Thailand) was sent to address a conflict involving Prageman, a merchant, and the local orphan chamber (a body overseeing orphaned children's welfare). The writers hoped the respected officials would show kindness to the orphans involved and protect their interests.

• The dispute stemmed from unresolved issues between the outgoing chief, Prageman, and the junior merchant Rugier van Alderweereld from the previous year (1735).
• The writers expected Prageman to explain his actions to the officials.
• Rugier van Alderweereld was to provide a written account and original documents, including a declaration from Hendrik Schoon, about the ship Risdam (ship number 10), which served the Dutch East India Company (VOC).
• The letter assured the officials that peace and unity would be maintained at the trading post to prevent further troubles.

The local military ships Purmer Lust, Margaretha, Risdam, Abbekerk, and Keetel arrived with their crews, who were owed wages for a total of 27 June (recently passed). According to a decision by the authorities on 26 June, they were to receive a payment of 57,519.125 rijksdaalders to cover 351 unpaid wages.

Before the payment was made, the authorities ordered on 17 July of that year that the officers of these ships had to swear an oath in Mahu. They declared under oath that none of the crew members included mercenaries, Javanese, or enslaved individuals. The following payments were noted, with some amounts withheld until further notice:

• Abdul Basier Pamatsoetan (Bailiff Sergeant, Campong Soedaat crew): 160.5 rijksdaalders
• Oebong (Campong crew): 166.5 rijksdaalders
• Transport workers: 327 rijksdaalders

• A signed original letter from the leaders of the Dutch trading post in Siam to the Dutch East India Company's government in Batavia, dated January 1727.

• Four copies of a financial statement showing what the King of Siam and his official still owed the Dutch East India Company as of 10 December 1726.
• A translated debt acknowledgment from a local merchant group (sconings clangs), dated 11 December 1726.

Between 23 January and 5 March 1727, records were kept of the cargo carried by ships arriving in Batavia from the Dutch homeland. These included the ships Iacoba, Commerrust, Berbices, Meerlust, and Winthond, detailing the unloaded supplies.

On 21 March 1727, Cornelis van Berendregt, a water inspector, submitted a statement reserving his legal action in a dispute between the Dutch East India Company (Compagnie) and Ida Hochepied. Two additional documents listed the costs incurred by Hochepied during the same legal process.

Between 17 September and 19 December 1726, letters were exchanged between officials on the west coast of Sumatra and Nicolaas Mettenius, a mining supervisor at Sillida, regarding mining operations. Six miners and a blacksmith filed a complaint on 19 December 1726 about Mettenius' harsh treatment. Another document listed tools and materials Mettenius requested for the Sillida gold mine.

On 14 March 1727, captain H. Schoon and accountant Barent Holscher provided a written account of the loss of the ship Risdam. Officers from the ship Konink Carel also submitted a report on 1 January 1727 about their voyage alongside the Risdam.

On 15 December 1726, an agreement was recorded between the Dutch East India Company and the King of Siam, including his advisor, Berquelang. A debt acknowledgment from the Siamese court officials was also dated 10 December 1726.

A Malay-language letter from Daing Marewa to the Governor-General and Council in Batavia was received on 10 March 1727.

On 4 May 1726, a Dutch ship called the Hoogermeer was sent back from Samarang (on the island of Java) to Rembang and then to Batavia. The ship carried the following goods:

• From Rembang:
  • 46 bundles of thin wooden planks called swalpen
  • 20 anchor stock beams
  • 42 heavy ship knees (curved wooden supports)
  • 10 heavy wooden blocks for ships
  • 60 ship supports
  • 3,080 curved braces with two bends
  • 2 bundles of sawed Chinese planks

• From Samarang:
  • 7,192 pounds of round pepper
  • 1,000 bundles of light wooden planks called legger duigen
  • 1 coil of thick rope called caijertouw

The total cost of these goods was 4,294 guilders, 11 stuivers, and 8 pennies, as listed in the invoices and receipts included with the document. Additional expenses for the ship in Samarang amounted to 447 guilders and 19 stuivers. The writers—P. G. Kroodt, H. Cool, D. Paradijs, Andries Johannes Sauer, P. Vereeke, and Willem Nuijts—respectfully requested payment for these costs from their superiors in Batavia.

On 3 May 1726, a letter was sent from Java's West Coast and received in Batavia on 9 May 1726 via the ship Hoogemeer. The writer requested the return of horses previously taken from Samarang.

The letter also urged Governor-General Matthijs De Jaan and the Council of the Dutch East Indies to quickly fulfill the last wishes of the late Susuhunan (a Javanese ruler). The writer mentioned having already discussed this matter with Captain Ceesjongh and Lieutenant Eijnde.

The document was translated by A.V. Gils and approved by A. Grootestraat, the secretary. Additionally, it was noted that the ship Risdam had returned to Batavia the day before under escort.

On 18 October 1726, Hendrik Schoon, a skipper working for the East India Company (EComp), was currently stationed on the ship Risdam in Judja. He declared the following in writing:

• He and another skipper, Mattheus Swan, were called to a meeting by the outgoing head of the trading post, Gregorius Hendrik Prageman.
• At this meeting, both Hendrik Schoon and Mattheus Swan stated that they had not heard the second-in-command of the trading post, Rugier van Alderweereld, call Gregorius Prageman insulting names like "villain," "thief," or "murderer."
• They also denied hearing Rugier van Alderweereld say he would take revenge on someone named Willem.
• This statement was recorded as the "pure truth," and Hendrik Schoon was willing to confirm it under oath if required.

The document was signed in Judja on 1 November 1726 by Hendrik Schoon and verified in the Bassora daily register (entry 46) by Letront with 46 lecuers (a type of currency).

• An original letter from the local chief and council of the Dutch East India Company in Siam, dated 29 September 1726, sent to the high government in Batavia via the Coning Carel.
• A copy of letters written by the Dutch representatives in Ligor to the chief and council of the company in Siam for the year 1726.
• A list of requested supplies for the King of Berk, as well as for the trading posts in Siam and Ligor, for the years 1727 and 1728.
• An original handover document from the outgoing chief, merchant Prageman, to his replacement, merchant Cock, dated 31 October 1726.

• A loan of 1,800 rijksdaalders (to be repaid by the court later).
• Instructions to officials in Semarang to assist the traders.
• A specific order to secure at least:
  • 1 to 2 stallions, and
  • 2 or more riding mares
  matching the quality, height, and size outlined in a recent document from Japan.

On February 17, 1730, a record was made in the Dutch trading office in Masulipatnam (a Dutch trading post in India) regarding a shipment issue.

• The document notes a loss of goods during transport:
  • Original shipment: 154 pounds of goods described as "pure foelij-stoff (likely a type of fabric), gray and white sheets."
  • Received in Wes (possibly a warehouse or location): 81 pounds.
  • Missing: 73 pounds (calculated as the difference).
  • Additional discrepancy: 2¼ bales and 12⅜ pounds were missing according to the invoice.
  • Another item, weighing 32¼ pounds, resulted in a further loss of 20 1/16 pounds.
• The people involved (Comparanten, meaning the parties making the statement) confirmed the details were true and were ready to verify them further if needed.

The document was officially recorded in the presence of two witnesses:

• Johannes Croese
• Johannes Simons Clercquen, who served as a clerk or secretary.

The statement was signed by:

• J:s V„n der willigen en g„t (likely a shortened or stylized name for the person responsible, possibly a merchant or official).
• De Vos, the first clerk (Eerste Clercq).
• Johannes Croese and J:s Simons confirmed their presence again on the same date.

On the same day, the involved parties appeared again before Eerste Clercq and the witnesses. The original statement was read aloud to them word for word, and they confirmed its accuracy without requesting any changes.

On January 31, 1730, Hermanus Dirk de Vos, the first sworn clerk at the secretariat, officially recorded a statement in the presence of two witnesses: assistants Jacobus van der Willigen and Gerrit van Alst, both employees of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) at the local office.

The two assistants reported they had been assigned to supervise the opening and weighing of a sack of an inferior type of nutmeg called raapfoelie (or macis). This sack had arrived in Amsterdam aboard the ship Maria, under Captain Chialoup, on March 4, 1729.

• The sack originally came from Banda Naira (part of the Banda Islands) and had been sealed by a man named Aldert Aldertsz on September 25, 1724, with Johannes Crijn and J. B. Thewolt as witnesses.
• At that time, it was recorded to contain 161 pounds (net weight) of nutmeg.
• According to the shipping invoice, the net weight should have been 154 pounds.

When the sack was weighed upon arrival in Amsterdam, the gross weight was 144 pounds. After opening and cleaning the contents, the assistants found:

• 81 pounds of clean nutmeg.
• 40.25 pounds of waste, including dust, dirt, white leaves, and other impurities.
• 19 pounds of residue left in the empty sack.
• 0.5 ounces lost or spilled during handling.

The total gross weight after accounting for these losses was adjusted to 141 pounds, though the expected weight based on records was 154 pounds.

• The text describes a detailed order list (likely from the Dutch East India Company (VOC)) for various high-quality fabrics and goods to be traded in Asia, primarily in India, Southeast Asia, and Japan.
• Fabrics and textiles were a major focus, with specific demands for:
  • Sarasa (a type of printed cotton cloth) in fine, medium, and lower qualities, with the finest being most valued. Colors included floral patterns, white, blue, green, violet, and dark red. Standard lengths ranged from 4 to 7 asta (a unit of measurement), with widths around 5–6 span (another unit). Quantities ordered:
    • 500 pieces of fine Laij de Coche sarasa.
    • 200–1,700 pieces of other fine sarasa types, including Tancoulen, Tanayt, and Inkernael.
    • 30–50 pieces of fine "slave cloth" (T'slavenijns) in various colors, mostly white and red.
  • Other fabrics included:
    • 180 pieces of fine red-headed cloth from Bengal.
    • 120 pieces of fine Balatius and 160 pieces of fine white and red parcalls.

    • 20–100 pieces of tulle bands (gentiles), Samodra mourij, and Aritsio fabrics.
    • 200 pieces of red Polangh Gobaer and 30 pieces of Cust seyldoeck (sailcloth).

    • 50 pieces of Siamese badin (as per previous samples sent to Coromandel Coast).
    • 100 packs of assorted Goulong fabric, including large and fine lape cloths from China and Japan.
    • 20 packs of fine lape Laij de Chinde (5 asta long) and 14 packs of lower-quality versions for Jambi.
• Clothing and garments were also ordered in large quantities:
  • 2,000 complete shirts (fine, medium, and coarse) for officers, soldiers, and sailors, each with buttons.
  • 2,000 white linen trousers (fine, medium, and coarse).
  • 20 pieces of Guynees linen (similar to recent shipments from the Coromandel Coast).
  • 60 pieces of fine red petas and Dragas Gabaer (but no blue or "frangij" types).
  • 124 pieces of Negros Cleeden Taxisscher (likely tax-paid cloth).
  • 1,500 white, 1,500 red, and 1,500 dark blue Chinese cangans (or ponticastella), each 2 vadem (a Dutch unit, ~6.5 ft) long and 1 asta wide.
• Other goods included:
  • As much rice as possible, packed in large empty martavan jars (a type of ceramic container).
  • A "good portion" of saltpeter (for gunpowder mills in Amboina).
  • Sulfur for the return voyage, if feasible.
  • Indigo dye—preferably the best quality, but lower quality was acceptable if necessary.
  • 150 pounds of spun cotton thread (15–25 Pagode per bundle) and raw cotton for sampling.
  • 100 chestnut loads of Bossecruijt (a type of wood or herb) as a sample.
  • 200–300 pounds of borax (with a black bear label, as per the sample).
• Human labor was also part of the order:
  • As many people as possible, especially young boys and girls, strong young men, and young women—but no elderly—for Timor.
• The goods were intended for annual trade in regions including Molacca (Malacca), Amboina, Banda, Java, Siam (Thailand), Patani (Pattani), and the Netherlands, sourced from the Coromandel Coast.

In the mid-19th century, the Dutch colonial government agreed to support the Sultan of Siak in Sumatra in exchange for certain rights and payments.

• The Dutch would withdraw their forces but retain the right to collect taxes in the region of Huleng, estimated at a certain amount.
• A new tax regulation would be introduced in the area, covering land and export duties, free from additional local fees, pending further approval if needed.
• Payments were made to the Sultan of Siak and his deputy:
  • 25 June 1858: The Sultan received 15,825 guilders (1,500 Mexican dollars).
  • The deputy received 2,550 guilders (1,000 Mexican dollars).
• Instructions were issued to the commander of Manghalis on the island of Barus on 16 August 1858.
• Official reports from the government of Sumatra’s West Coast and its dependencies were submitted for the years 1852, 1853, and 1854.

Key documents and decisions were recorded between 21 August 1858 and 3 September 1858.

On 28 February 1727, in Malacca, Hermanus van Suchtelen and his council sent a report to Mattheus de Haan, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies in Batavia, along with the council members. The report included the following:

• An original letter with the same date (28 February 1727).
• A copy of a letter dated 31 January 1727, sent via the pachiallang (envoy) of the King of Johor from Malacca.
• A report given on 12 February 1727 to the general secretariat by:
  • Jan Schoon, a ship’s mate, and
  • Anne de Haan, a carpenter’s mate,
  both survivors from the ship Risdam, which sank near Soulo Gadia, across from Soulo Simon. They arrived in Malacca on a Portuguese ship named Nossa Senhora de Conceição.

On 17 June 1274 (Dutch calendar, equivalent to 1726 in the modern calendar), the following ships and personnel were recorded in a Dutch trading log:

• The merchants Rennet and Walerius Nicolai, along with:
  • Junior merchant and sworn accountant Vincent van Wijngerden,
  • Junior merchant and fiscal officer Martinus Commelijn,
  were sent to Tambij on the fluyt (cargo ship) Risdam, then onward to Ligor and Siam (modern-day Thailand). They replaced a second officer, junior merchant Harmanus Blom Junior, who was returning to the Dutch Republic ("Vaderland"). All were employed by the Chamber of Amsterdam (a division of the Dutch East India Company, or VOC) and traveled on the fluyt Bellevliet.

• Ships arriving from Palembang (on 23 June):
  • The fluyt Susanna,
  • The ship Stadwyk,
  • The small vessel (patchiall) Suikermaler,
  • The fluyt Strijkebolle (carrying 8 units of cargo to "Land van Beloften"—likely a local name for a destination).
