Summary (also from the next page)

14 February 1777. Officials from Samarang wrote a letter to the Governor General and Council requesting supplies that were already running low or would soon run out.

The letter was signed by I. R. van der Burgh, J. M. van Panhuijs, J. van Ardenne, J. van Santen, N. N. Lelivelt, H. Ludewig, M. L. Gaaswijk, A. P. Tulleken van Hogenhouk, and A. Barkeij.

15 March 1777. The officials addressed Jeremias van Riemsdijk, Governor General, and the Council members of Netherlands India regarding demands from Batavia for the year 1777. They submitted a distribution plan for the requested products and goods across various trading posts.

The officials stated they would try to supply the demanded products as much as possible. However, they noted that:

  • Rice delivery would depend mainly on the harvest and timely payment of quotas
  • Timber delivery would be difficult because even if all wood came in and was delivered according to their distribution plan by the local regents and chiefs, the demand still could not be met without buying more than the required amount of about 7,000 beams

They provided figures showing that timber remainders, arrears, and quotas for the year totaled 17,897 beams. Of this amount, 6,560 beams had to be set aside for the sawmill in Japara and the timber yard in Rembang. This left only 11,337 beams available for shipping if everything came in. However, the timber works that needed to be supplied from this amount, including all the requested heavy timber, totaled 11,225 beams, leaving only 112 beams remaining.
