Translation

Received the request of Jan Oosthoff, soldier, having served here about three years, remonstrates that he was severely ruptured, which grows worse and worse daily because he can’t receive any remedy for it here; therefore he requests permission to depart with one of the ships to the fatherland, in order to be cured there if it be possible.

After due deliberation, it was decided to grant and allow the request. Dated as above.
