English translation
Considering that the Company's trading warehouses and shop contain a few goods which, due to its unwillingness, have been kept for a long time without any benefit, free from moth damage and other infestations, and have thus become sufficiently unsellable. Therefore, after careful consideration, it has been decided that, since the longer the delay, not only improves but also becomes increasingly difficult, the warehouses, as well as the shop, will bid by public auction to the highest bidder, so that the aforementioned goods can be disposed of without the Company suffering any additional losses; in any case, it is still profitable for the Company to expect nothing more than that.
Thus resolved in the Castle of Good Hope, dated above.
