As we have been informed by the heads of the return ship the Salmander (15th and the same ship arrived here from Batavia), we have today been informed that with the first good news in the Name of the Lord we will once again sail the line to further our journey across St. Helena after our dear father, including our letters and the annexed pamphlets. d'Ed. Gentlemen Directors, ready and prepared, as has been read and noted by our Council, understand that they are to be integrated with the commanders of the aforementioned return ship to order to our Lord Masters in the Fatherland, as well as the hidden personnel of the Salmander named Frederick Verburgh, assistant, as well as the boys Jan Willemsz Bobbel of Delft, and Cornelis Cornelissen of Rotterdam, according to the order of the Honorable Lord General and Council of the Indies, to take over and to use them initially on land in the work of the people on the fortification.
Thus done and resolved in the ship Drommedaris on the date and year as above.
