On March 20, 1637, a legal document was created in Amsterdam. Cornelis Jansz appointed his servant Annetgen Raemburchs to collect debts owed to him. She was given authority to issue receipts and appear in court on his behalf. The witnesses were Hendrick Bartelsz and Teunis Reijersz Tullingh. The document also mentions an inventory of goods left behind by Grietje Pieters, which was made by notary Jacob van Zwieten in the presence of Heijndrick Dommer.

The document describes events in Amstelredamme (Amsterdam) in 1635. It mentions several legal matters:

• Harman Arentsz, who had died in the East Indies, had left several living relatives including his father Arent Joosten, his sisters Aer Arents (married to Cornelis Jansz) and Jannetge Arents (married to Theunis Kuyper), and his brother Willem Arentsz.

• 2 Christians: Aron Abrahamsz and Johan Lot
• 1 Chinese person
• 2 Bugis people

In Macasser, the governor received reports about only 20 people remaining. He met with the king of Goa in the early morning, pretending to just go for a horseback ride. They discussed how to capture or eliminate a certain fugitive without causing much disturbance. The governor expressed concern that working with the Bonijle chiefs would be unsuccessful and might even cause unrest throughout Celebes.

The king promised to discuss the matter with his nobles and provide a quick answer. On Wednesday the 28th, the Tanets Prince Arou Lipoe, along with Kassie and Pabitjara Daleng Paloerang, delivered a letter from the king. They reported that the Tanetterese people were afraid to work in the paddy fields near the village of Lempangang due to fears of harassment from the people of Peana T Asia, also known as Arou Pantjana's people. The governor assured them they could continue working without fear, as he had ordered Arou Pantjana to prevent any violence.

From Macasser, reports came about three villages whose inhabitants had joined the rebels, namely Bonto Lebang, Bonto Cadien, and Bonto Maranoe. These villages were burned down. Brugman requested further orders. He was instructed to make all possible efforts to capture or eliminate the wanderer with help from the Company's subjects.

At the courts of Bonij and Goa, permission was requested for the usual commissioners to present the customary Pouassa gifts the next morning. The messengers reported this was granted. The messenger to Goa also reported that the king of Goa had received news from Cuaang Sandrabonij that chief interpreter Brugman was attacked at Patalassan by the known wanderer Sankilang.

On Friday the 15th, merchants Raket and Voll went to Bonij, while junior merchant Kraane and bookkeeper Bremer went to Goa with the usual Pouassa gifts. Upon their return, the first two reported they were received only by the Boelewattang (local official), without any other nobles present, which was unusual as traditionally two high officials would receive Company commissioners.

The Goa commissioners reported that the king had inquired whether Sankilang might be Batara Goa or the fled king, but he was not. However, this wanderer was considered holy by the people.

Nothing noteworthy happened on Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th. On Monday the 18th, Company messenger Niga reported on behalf of chief interpreter Brugman that wanderer Sankilang and his accomplice Ranga were staying at the house of the priest in the Bonij village of Barana.

On June 21, 1608, the Pangeran built his fortification at Packal, with the enemy's fence at Rantoe Mangjoe about 30 loads away. The enemy held daily parades at Rantoe Tiega. The Pangeran fired some cannon shots at the enemy when he sent about 50 men to try to burn their fences, but they retreated. The Pangeran and Jan Grana appeared sincere, but other officials only pretended to be. Soura Nata called out from Kaliwongoe to Gourapattij's fence, challenging them to fight.

On May 3, 1688, after taking leave from Captain Lieutenant Jan Bervelt, they continued their journey with young Radin Zouderma's ambassadors to Sammanap, arriving on May 23. After being held by Javanese guards, they were politely received by regent Praja Pattij with 300-400 men, who offered them horses to ride to the residence of Aria Poulangs Wiwa.

They delivered the Commander's letter and greetings. Poulangs Wiwa made them sit on the ground without mats. Praja Pattij read the letter publicly, with Maes Aria Diara and other officials present. They mocked the letter, claiming it wasn't from the authorities in Batavia. When asked about the war between the Pangeran and Sourapattij, they replied they were just common soldiers and didn't know such matters. Poulangs Wiwa expressed surprise that the Pangeran's large force achieved so little against Sourapattij's mere 150-200 men, claiming he could end the conflict quickly if trusted with the task.

A report about events in Passourouan and Japara during 1688. The head priest Catip Calij visited Prince Tsiacra Ningrat to discuss dealing with Sourapattij. The prince ordered 50 criminals to burn houses in Sourapattij's fortification, but they retreated after Tommogon Zoura Nata warned of enemies approaching, losing 2 dead and 3 wounded.

Governor Ian Grana searched for enemies but found none. Prince Tsiacra Ningrat built a fortification within pistol shot of Sourapattij's camp. The two sides could speak to each other, with Sourapattij's Balinese men calling the prince's people traitors for working with the Dutch.

Sourapattij sent 100 Javanese men, a commander and 2 Malays from Grissee to burn the village of Sidkara. They burned a village called Pouloe. Sourapattij received:

• 2 Malay boats with gunpowder and bullets
• A red flag with a white bird from the ruler of Manicabo

The prince received 8 cannons for his fortification and sent 8 Balinese spears to the ruler and Commander Sloot.

In Japara on November 1, 1692, officials discussed how the power of Sandel Sindouradjon had diminished. He now only commanded 2,000 men and was not involved in other matters. This may have led to rumors about ritual killings.

Nine days earlier, a messenger from Pangerang Depattij came to report about the death of Captain Struijs to the administrator. This was confirmed by the priests Katis Kalij and his followers, who had met the messenger on the way to Cartasaura and helped guide him. While the followers returned to Java, Katib Kalij stayed behind to handle tax collection matters in Toedoenoeng.

On the 28th, they received a letter from President Francois Prins and council in Macassar via a Bugis vessel, requesting help with obtaining planks. The only planks currently available would come from Rembang, as the sawmill was idle because merchant Daniel Prasser could not receive supplies or purchased wood due to orders. Prasser had been lacking funds for a long time. In Samarang, plank production was never common, and while Chinese merchants near Doemak might take it up, there wasn't enough wood available at this time. The accounts of Daniel Prasser and Samuelsen showed 304.23.1 on this year's books, plus 46 for deliveries.

On June 20, 1732, officials in Ternaten sent a letter acknowledging receipt of previous correspondence from November 17 and September 20 that year. The letter mentions that flag-bearer Anthony Michielsz received these on October 3. A shipment of building materials was sent, including:

• 50 pieces of 1½ inch planks
• 50 pieces of wooden laths
• 8,000 pieces of bricks

• The Macassarese had received reinforcements
• A Muslim priest named Imam Tomiwarro had been forcibly converted to Christianity in Amboina
• The Xulanese feared they would all be forced to convert to Christianity
• 4 Dutch ships were coming to Pula to carry out these conversions
• These ships were patrolling between Bouton and Xula to prevent people from joining King Mandrasaha
• King Mandrasaha was being detained by the Dutch East India Company in Macassar
