On February 12, 1683, Jacob de Winter, a notary in Amsterdam, visited Claude Cavallier, a merchant, at the request of merchant Arnout Weijmans. The purpose was to ask about payment of an accepted bill of exchange.
The bill, written in Bayonne on December 9, 1682, was for 500 crowns. After several transfers through various merchants including Noel du Sanl, Francois Le Maie, Lauray Morian, Salvador de Palacios, and Athias, it came to Arnout Weijmans.
Cavallier was willing to pay but wanted protection against future claims regarding an endorsement by Francois Launaij Mordan instead of Lones Moreau. The notary then formally protested about payment, exchange fees, and interests.
On February 15, 1683, Samuel and Jan Alvares agreed to pay the 500 crowns to Weijmans on behalf of Francois Mordau.
On March 2, 1683, Weijmans confirmed receiving payment from Samuel and Jan Alvares. On the same day, Samuel and Jan Alvares confirmed receiving payment from Cavallier and promised to protect him against any claims regarding Francois Moreau's endorsement.
