Summary (also from the previous page)

  • On 14 April 1777, the officials of the ship Cornelia Adriana were ordered to leave for Palembang as soon as possible.
  • The ships De Weldoener and De Anna Maria had been paid for and fitted out.
  • To take advantage of the western winds still blowing occasionally, the ship De Dankbaarheid was sent with a cargo of rice to the eastern corner, and De Vreede Lust was sent with a load of wood to Joana, where the heaviest wood was also ready for shipping.
  • The ship De Jonge Hellingman was currently being unloaded of goods that had been brought in response to their request, and was being reloaded with rice.
  • The officials of the ship Cornelia Adriana, which had been stranded and overwintered in Joana and was destined for Palembang, were notified to travel to their destination as soon as possible once the monsoon would allow it. This was expected to happen soon as both the current and wind were already strongly turning.
  • The ships De Weldoener and De Anna Maria, which belonged to Samarang and Sourabaija, had been caulked, tarred, and doubled for repair of small vessels. The costs were ƒ662.8 and ƒ642.5 respectively. Based on authorization received, these expenses were written off to the account of the Kruis vessels.
  • On 14 April 1777, it was noted that ships would be loaded as quickly as possible and sent back.
  • Thanks were expressed for the requests received and other matters.
  • To fulfill the requests for this year, all efforts would be made.
  • Ships that were still expected and other ships that would be sent would be loaded according to instructions and sent back as quickly as possible.
  • Gratitude was expressed for being helped out of difficulties regarding the cash, goods, and necessities requested for this year, and for the authorization to accept as much silver money on exchange as would be needed from time to time. Thanks were also given for the favorable assurance that during this year no Japanese bar copper would be given to private individuals in Batavia for transport to Java.
  • Reference was made to their last letter of 15 March and the accompanying distribution among the various offices under their jurisdiction of products, whose procurement during the current year 1777 for the main station they had been assigned by the request dated 4 January last. They asked to be assured that they would make their utmost efforts to fulfill that request and the additional one of 7.
