Translation

Thomas Robberson, soldier, showed that he has been serving the Company now for about 2 years as a soldier at 7 guilders per month, and that in the fatherland he was promised that as soon as he would come here, he would earn eight guilders. He requests that therefore, and out of further considerations that everything here is so expensive, he may receive eight guilders per month from now on.

It is resolved, fiat ut petitur, one guilder increase from today. Dated as above.

Hendrick Hendricksen of the chamber of Groeningen showed how, by order of the lord general in 1656, he had been covering the drummer’s position for 6 months at the South River, for which so far he was not reimbursed on his account; requesting that he may be reimbursed two guilders for each month on top of his salary, amounting to twelve guilders.

It is resolved fiat ut petitur. Dated as above.
