[several lines lost] and with [ ] to agree on account of [ ] and that he lost much time with that and had extraordinary trouble, and because he was not in the service of the Company then, he was promised that he would be given something for his trouble, of which he received 25 guilders on the 6th of August 1656, for which sum he was debited but not credited for what he was granted. He requested that this might happen.

After deliberation it is resolved, the receiver is ordered to credit the petitioner 25 guilders, and for reasons argued in his petition to put the same on the account of costs of the lords directors.[i] Dated as above.
