Summary (also from the previous page)

On 14 April 1777, it was reported that merchant and second resident Jan Otto van Ingen had departed for Djokjokarta to serve at the sultan's court. The employees at Soerabaja were instructed to resume paying wages to the sailors who were still there from the ship A Schat, which had been wrecked on the voyage from Bima in the previous year. The wages were to be paid from 16 August 1776 onwards. The resignation of merchant and resident Alexander Cornabé from Tagal was noted, with his transfer to take place by the end of August. Merchant Isaak Cornelis Domis was appointed in his place. Domis was to be replaced as resident at Grissee by Barend Willem Fockens, who was the head at Timor. Since Cornabé would be leaving for the Netherlands, he would need to hand over his position by the end of August at the latest. A request was made for Domis to hand over the residency at Grissee by the end of July instead of mid-August to his replacement Fockens. If Fockens had not yet arrived, two appointed officials would take care of business until he came. Meanwhile, Lieutenant George Otto Dijkman was given command in Balemboan. Several requests for promotion were submitted: These individuals were praised for giving satisfaction through their enthusiasm, diligence, and capability, provided their required service time had been completed.
