On January 22, 1869, there was correspondence about Lucas de Langhe, who was residing in the old men's home in Semarang. This followed a letter from August 3, 1865, inquiring about his whereabouts. The Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies had confirmed in a letter dated November 16, 1868 that de Langhe was still alive and being cared for in the elderly men's facility in Semarang.

Due to old age and health issues, a person requested his pension payment based on his years of service in Rotterdam. He submitted a medical certificate to prove his condition. The document was addressed to Van Daehne and Cop at Grasenhays on January 8, 1869.

On January 22, 1869, H. Mogg, a retired military officer of the 3rd class from the Netherlands East Indies Army, wrote to His Excellency the Minister of Colonies.
