In Johor on June 20, 1612, a trade deal was being discussed for Salde wood. The price offered was 40 reales per baer (a unit of weight), with each baer being 4½ picols. Around 48 baers of good quality wood had been purchased previously. Ships had been traveling between Bantam and the region. Sr Matay had written on October 20 about prices being offered to Chinese merchants who had come from Solor. The ship Eede arrived on the 5th from the Moluccas, Amboina, and Bandar. On the 8th, it left for Bantam, planning to stop at Johor for capital before continuing to Patani and then Japan. In the Moluccas, there was ongoing warfare with the Castilians (Spanish). The Dutch maintained 8 ships there. Trade with the Bandanese was going well, though there were not enough small ships to bring in the spices. The letter was signed by Heijndrick van Bourfolt and Andries.

Artificial Intelligence

The transcription was made by computer via automatic handwriting recognition. The summary is created by the computer based on a language model. Neither of these methods is perfect, but they are often more than sufficient to make the historical document understandable. The results of the application of (European) artificial intelligence have not been verified by a human.
