The Hr. Commander37 having presented to the Council that among the farmers who settled her and her families at a certain fertile place called Stellenbos, in order to diligently understand the agriculture at the aforementioned location, many and various discrepancies had arisen regarding the definition and extension of the lands, so much so that some of the said farmers have privately requested his E. to have the required order established there, or otherwise it would be advisable to depart from there again. Therefore, on his E. proposal, for a necessary matter, a request was made to the Company. and it is common for his E. to make a trip there at the first suitable opportunity to obtain the required relief there, and to remove all obstacles that are somewhat objectionable from his weight.38
Thus resolved and arrested in 't Casteel d' Goede Hoop, date above.
