Summary (also from the previous page)In this historical document, several staffing changes and supply arrangements are discussed for Dutch ships. Boshouwer, an under-merchant from the ship Black Lion, and Jan Gaeff, an assistant from the ship Orange, were to go to the coast of Choromandel. Albert Willemsz, chief merchant in Achin, needed to be replaced by Pieter Almerijn, under-merchant of the White Lion.
The cargo ordered from the coast for Moluccas, Java and the homeland would cost over 150,000 reals. They decided to send 42,000 reals plus 8,000 reals for Achin to buy Gujarat cloth.
Several personnel changes were made:
The document also details supplies being transferred between ships, including barrels of meat, wine, stockfish, bread, and gunpowder. Due to shortages, rations were reduced to 3 pounds of bread per man per week, and oil was substituted for butter. The medical chest of the late Michiel Corsteldes from Lübeck was to be distributed among the ships.
The document was signed by Jaques L'Hermite the Younger, Claes Outgerssen Smit, Steven Doensz, Matheus Cotelles, Jan de Labiestrate, and Wemmer van Berchem.
