English translation
The Reverend Hr. Commander indicates in Raade, how His E. in the settlement submitted by Cornelis Claasz, boss of the Company's corn barn, concerning the grain deliveries obtained this year, had noted that it differed, eleven bushels of wheat and three bushels of barley, new crop, from that which the fiscal Jacob Granaet, at the time he held the dispensary, had brought in, and the same the Reverend Company when bringing in his Granaats account the aforementioned. Defined grains would be short, and since he was unable to provide sufficient reasons for the difference in price, as the one who said so failed to do so, when a general receipt for all grains delivered to him by the aforementioned boss had passed, he would withdraw the private receipt for the aforementioned defined grains, and considering that the delivery of the said defined grains was fully offset with the receipt from him, His E. remains of advice that the amount of that E. Compa. It should have been done properly, and after the Council had deliberated on the matter and found it to be sound, it was unanimously agreed that the aforementioned fiscal officer, Granaat, will have to pay the deferred grains, namely eleven bushels of wheat and three d[o.] of barley, to the E. Company at the current price, leaving it reserved, so that he may seek his guarantee where he believes he has a claim.
Thus done and resolved in the Fortress of Good Hope on the day and year aforesaid.
