Summary (also from the next page)

Here's the summary in HTML:

On March 7, 1201, a letter was sent to Governor-General Joan Maatsuijcker and the Council of the East Indies from Palimbang. On March 12, the ship White Lion arrived with documents dated May 28. The ship delivered goods, money, and supplies worth 30,233 guilders.

Since their previous letter of February 19, they had received about 600 pieces of pepper as debt payment. The White Lion transported 2,550 pieces of pepper, costing 37,983 guilders including taxes and other expenses.

The king still owed the Company 6,016 reals (excluding the Chinese harbor master's debt). The king was owed 7,100 reals for previous year's transport taxes. He insisted that pepper should not be valued at less than 9¼ reals per piece. The king had waited three to four years for toll payments on shipped pepper.

The Company accepted 247 pieces of pepper at 4¼ reals per piece as partial payment. The king promised to send 100 pieces of pepper in the coming season for the remaining 592 reals he owed for ammunition. He refused to settle this against toll payments.
