[ ] advised [ ] Michiel that your honor [ ] were to expect [ ] the Hoff van Cleeff and the [ ] our long [ ] in reply to your previous [ ] with the ships that had been sent to us from there, which we thought also by now would have been carried out. However, if these ships have not yet arrived and for which we are also still waiting some [ ] in the Hague, then this only serves as a cover for the accompanying bill of lading of the ship Kaijser Carel. Herewith, commending your distinguished pious and devoted honor to the protection of the Almighty, you good friends,
