On May 11, 1868, the mayor of Schoendijke wrote about a person named Gelles Leeweld who asked for overnight accommodation on December 3, 1867. Based on information from the hotel registry where he was directed to stay, he had come from Sluis that day and departed to Dreskens on December 2. During his stay, he mentioned that he had been at the stagecoach in Brugge, where he had fallen ill and was treated in a hospital. He intended to seek admission to a hospital in either Vlissingen or Middelburg.
A letter from 's Gravenhage dated November 28, 1868 inquires about the whereabouts of military serviceman G. Kieweld, who was issued a passport on July 19, 1867. Since he was found in Schoendijke in December 1867 seeking hospital admission in Vlissingen or Middelburg, they requested to investigate if he was still in these municipalities.
