English translation

Presently omnibus.

The letters and reports from the Chief of Staff of the return ship Berg China having been read in Rade, it was subsequently, after due consultation, unanimously decided that the ship 't Haantje should depart for Mauritius as soon as possible with such supplies as are in stock here. In order to adequately accommodate the required supplies for the said return ship to China, other goods and merchandise would be brought from the aforementioned ship if necessary, and these would be shipped to Batavia by the present flute Hobre, along with one hundred and fifty thousand guilders in cash.
