Summary (also from the next page)

On 14 February 1777, several requests were presented. A request came from chief merchant and Head Administrator Mister Johan Michiel van Panhuis, asking for permission to make a short trip to Batavia. A request came from merchant and resident in Tagal Alexander Cornabe, asking for a favorable discharge before the end of August from that residency, and to be allowed to depart for the Netherlands with one of the return ships of the first dispatch in October of that year, while keeping his rank and salary due to his expired term, with the permitted baggage. A request came from surgeon Herman Carel Snijders, asking to be promoted to head surgeon based on the reasons stated in his request.

On 14 February 1777, two bills of exchange were enclosed, whose duplicates accompanied this document.

Another bill was in favor of Carel Fredrik Severin, notary of the Orphan Masters in Batavia, for the amount of 1,248 rijksdaalders. It was requested that the holders of the original bills in Batavia be paid. The many rains that had fallen along this coast for some time had enabled the farmer to work his fields and prepare them for rice cultivation. However, the continuing extremely harsh, rough weather and abundant water still prevented them in many places from sowing the grain and in other places from transplanting the young crops. Nevertheless, the prospects remained good that when the weather calmed down somewhat, both tasks could be completed satisfactorily with the expectation of a good harvest. Since there was no bar iron left in stock, and also because nails were needed for the Rembang carpentry yard for the keelboats being built (which had been requested on 15 December 1776)...
