After the ordination, the Governor, among other things, presented a certain request, that his E. had been placed in the hands of the wife of the freeman Willem Willemsz of Deventer, in which he seriously came to indicate how she supplemented that with our approval with her aforementioned. man (since she had now reconciled with him and had made promises to each other under duress to live peacefully with the other from now on) would gladly reunite with him, regardless of the fact that she had recently declared in the presence of the Council that she would rather be placed in the spinning house than do so, as the same is clearly cited in our latest resolution dated 18 August last. Therefore, the same has been taken into consideration by us, and her request being taken into account, the aforementioned Willem Willemsz housewife has found it acceptable to comply with her request to advocate this and to comply with the aforementioned. her husband (who, by resolution, is further mentioned, is quite willing to continue on to Batavia) to depart there as now with the ship, the Vrije Zee, which is currently at sea, along with the other.
Furthermore, considering that the heirs of the estate of the late citizen Thielman Hendricksz still have, undivided, a house, stables, and yard, standing and located beneath the new fortress, and noting that those houses and those further afield will have to be demolished for reasons of necessity, it has been decided to demolish the aforementioned To meet the remaining balance of her heirs, authorize the orphan masters to sell it to the highest bidder, and to have bills drawn up for this purpose by next Monday, the 7th of this current month, to sell the demolition of stone, wood, and ironwork, and all claims related thereto, by October 15th. Payment for this must be made upon the arrival of the forthcoming return fleet.
It is also understood that, since the ship Vrije Zee has expired its usual mooring days here, and has been sufficiently supplied with fresh water, and that the crew on board has also been repatriated, the ship will depart for Batavia. Having finally heard in Rade the verbal report of Sergeant Lourens Visser, summoned here for that purpose because of the expedition to the Hosiquas nation and the good appearance there was to make a good exchange, and having further carefully considered everything, we also persist in our latest resolution, adopted on August 18th,106 in this regard.107
Thus resolved on the day and year aforesaid.
