English translation
Given that the privileged bread bakers do not hesitate to buy the wheat of the free inhabitants at a higher price than the Company is accustomed to paying, none of the farmers are willing to sell the Company even the slightest grain more, which would deny us our good intentions to bake bread for the garnishment. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to comply with this. This has been approved, and the aforementioned bread bakers, by having the bailiff authorized, are hereby informed that they will henceforth no longer be allowed to bake more bread or cow at a rate of 25 Rxrs, as they have often been found to be doing the opposite.
Thus arrested at the Castle of Good Hope, dated the above.
