On October 17, 1894, Alphonse Paul Delforterie, a retired military officer, wrote a letter to the Ministry of Colonies in The Hague. He complained that when he presented his attestation of life to the paymaster in Utrecht, a sum of 49.84 guilders was withheld from his quarterly payment. He stated that he had received no notification from the Ministry about any deductions from his wages. He respectfully requested information about the amount being withheld and why he wasn't informed about this deduction. The letter was processed in The Hague on October 28, 1894.
