"To the Honorable, most valiant and most generous Lord, the Commander of this residence and the surrounding areas, as well as the E. High Court Council."
"With all due respect, the undersigned authorities on the Royal Danish East Indiaman, the Flying Wolf, currently stationed here, express their satisfaction that they are unable to fully cover the expenses of the funeral of the deceased, our late Lord, as we cannot find sufficient cash and cannot contribute any other means, as our recourse to your High Court in such dire straits."
"So, please, suppl. I very submissively request that Your Esteemed Lordship assist her with the royalties for the account of the late Lord, respectfully submitting a formal document of banishment to gratefully reimburse the aforementioned monies received by the heiress, his mother, and her by bill of exchange.
"I trust that Your Esteemed Lordship, in accordance with innate goodness, will kindly grant her a favorable answer, which I do."
"And was signed J. Emmerick van der Keijl, Pieter Sassenbergh, and Cornelis Janse. In the margin it read: to the postal order, in respect of the Company." In this place, cash itself was very sparsely provided, and could not be missed without great disservice to our Lords and Masters, if the supple request could not be approved.
"The store was at the behest of the E. Heer Commander and the Council. And it was signed. And. d' Man, Sects.
