three ships with which a portion of the present troops is provided, to have 12 leagers of Cape wines provided, which have been distributed among them in proportion to the number of persons aboard each ship. Through all these arrangements we have finally been able to succeed today in putting the said vessels in a condition to be able to transport the repeatedly mentioned troops to Europe, whither they shall undertake the voyage with the first good wind that God will grant, hoping that all that we have arranged with regard to those people, and which had the welfare of the Noble Company as its sole aim, may also be crowned with the highly honored approval of Your Right Honorable Nobles. Beside the expense accounts of what has been supplied to the repeatedly mentioned transport ships, we have the honor to offer Your Right Honorable Nobles the muster rolls of the vessels, from which Your Right Honorable Nobles will be able to see that the following men have been embarked therein: Officers. Non-commissioned officers and privates. In the Drie Gebroeders: 8, 231 in the Vrouwe Johanna: 6, 175 in the Susanna: 4, 116 thus together 18, 522 And in total a number of 540 persons. Yet, as it is to be suspected that some changes might still occur therein if those ships were prevented by contrary winds from leaving this roadstead immediately, we shall, in order to make all possible haste, have those changes made known only on the muster rolls that have been handed to the shipmasters; while upon the dispatch of the ship 'T Fortuin van Dort, which will transport the still present disabled men to Europe after their recovery, we shall do ourselves the honor of supplying Your Right Honorable Nobles with a complete list of the condition in which those troops were found at their departure from Ceylon, with an indication of those who died both on the voyage to this corner of the earth and at the same, and with which ships those dispatched from here have departed; for the formation of which list we shall give the pay-office bookkeeper proper authorization. A memorandum having been submitted to our assembly on the 2nd of this month by the pay-office bookkeeper, of which we offer Your Right Honorable Nobles the authentic copy, and this having been deliberated upon by us, we have resolved to have the expense accounts of the said ships the Drie Gebroeders and the Susanna charged with such monthly wages as the men with whom they were assisted here on their outward voyage have earned and accrued from the time they were employed on those vessels until they remained again in the service of the Honorable Company here due to illness; while with respect to those who continue on those keels, it is understood that their outstanding debit balance shall be paid into the Company's treasury here by their shipmasters, or else that their expense accounts shall likewise be debited with it, having further resolved to leave the payment of the bounties referred to Your Right Honorable Nobles; yet we cannot refrain from requesting Your Right Honorable Nobles in all submissiveness that those bounties may be paid half by the Noble Company and half by the owners of the ships, since those men did not transfer into the service of the owners here by free choice, but one was forced out of necessity to place them on those private ships, as we also state in the accompanying pay memoranda. A request having been made to us by petition by the master of the ship the Susanna to be assisted with a mate, we have placed on that vessel the sub-lieutenant of the ship 's Duifje, Gerhardus Adolph van den Brink, and this with suspension of wages, without bounty or gratuity, since he has not served out his contracted time. A request having also been made to us by the discharged lieutenant of the Württemberg regiment holding garrison here, Carel Sigfried van Hiller, to be allowed to repatriate from here on the ship the Drie Gebroeders, we have condescended to that request, provided he behaves in accordance with the charter party of that vessel regarding the passage and board money. Further, we have the honor to present to Your Right Honorable Nobles an invoice of sixty-six loads of paving stones loaded into the ship the Susanna as ballast; three receipts for the rice unloaded from the three aforementioned transport ships; three expense accounts of what has been supplied to those ships on the Company's behalf in this government, together with three accounts of what has been delivered from the Company's warehouses to the commanders of those ships for the account of their owners. We shall not fail, with the first return ship departing from here, to render dutiful report to the Illustrious Board of Gentlemen Seventeen as well as to the individual Chambers by which the aforementioned ships were chartered, of what must be brought to the knowledge of their Right Honorable Nobles concerning those ships, and to supply the necessary copies of all that accompanies this. We commend Your Right Honorable Nobles, together with the Honorable Company's important interests, to the protection of God, and call ourselves with profound respect, Right Honorable, Valiant, Right Worshipful, Most Wise, Prudent, Most Generous and Commanding Lords, Your

9 In the Castle of Good Hope, the 25th of February 1789. Your Right Honourable Worships' very humble and obedient servants, J. N. P. van Lijnder. P. J. Vanden Graaff J. V. Lesueur C. Goerres vSielandt [illegible] To His Excellency His Excellency the Governor van de Graaff, and the Gentlemen Councillors of the High Regency of the Cape of Good Hope Governor and Gentlemen, It is according to the strictest truth that I shall have the honour of drawing for you the most frightful picture of the situation of the Luxembourg Regiment under my command at Robben Island. The attached note, the original of which is in my hands, will convince you of it and arouse your sympathy. I therefore beg you, Governor and Gentlemen, to dwell for a moment on these calamities which drive both healthy and sick soldiers to despair, and to put an end to the famine that is consuming them. The troops in general are persuaded that it is only to my carelessness that they must attribute the death of some and the sickness of others, whereas the Colony knows perfectly well in what state I disembarked, after an illness of forty days, and in what state I still am. [illegible] I think, Governor and Gentlemen, that you would be in despair to see me reduced to the distressing necessity of asking you for the law of nations, whereas by contract and by capitulation you owe me all the assistance that your national soldier would require in such a case. I have the honour of asking you on a stronger title: it is your sympathy towards allies who, in the last war, gave you such striking proofs of their valor and affection towards the States General of the 7 United Provinces. I do not believe, Governor and Gentlemen, that half a bottle of wine per day is due to each soldier; I am even convinced of it, but please cast a glance at the deplorable state in which the regiment finds itself; you will not be insensible to it, Governor and Gentlemen, and your benevolent humanity will grant this comfort to unfortunate men who find consolation only in the hope of prompt relief. I will add to this request, Governor and Gentlemen, that of an increase of tents, which are of the most urgent necessity to me and the deprivation of which up to this day has caused terrible rheumatisms, which can only have the most dangerous consequences. Please be so kind as to have them supplied to me without delay; this is an item upon which I shall not expand further, persuaded that you feel the necessity of it, and that the precise orders you give to have them sent to me will be executed with promptness. Be well convinced in advance of the deep gratitude of the regiment in general and of mine in particular. I am with very deep respect, Governor and Gentlemen, Your very humble and very obedient servant. Signed: Chevalier de Raymond In the margin: at the Cape, the 13th of January 1789. Agrees: J. Goetz, First Clerk. [illegible] The soldier, forced to buy some provisions in order not to die of hunger, pays 4 schellings for a loaf of bread, and as much for a flask of wine. The 2nd of January, the Fortune, the Johanna, and the Susanne sent their sick ashore; they were 250: they were given 2 sheep and nothing else, neither bread, nor wine, nor drink. The 3rd, the 250 men still had only two sheep, neither bread, nor rice, nor drink. The 4th, the rest of the regiment having disembarked ashore, there were 630 men there, to whom they gave one sheep in all, one loaf of bread for eight, no rice and drink; Mr. Feyd bought four sheep that day, which made five. The 5th, they gave 12 sheep, half a bottle of wine per man, a serving of arrack, and one loaf of bread for eight men, rice for the soup. The 6th, 12 sheep, half a bottle of wine per man, a serving of arrack, one loaf of bread for eight, vegetables and rice for the soup. The 7th, 12 sheep, the same as above. The 8th, 12 sheep, no more wine; 2 soopjes of arrack, one loaf of bread for 9. Please read the extract from yesterday's letter. The 9th, 10 sheep, there were 77 pounds missing to complete what was due to the soldier, arrack 2 times, no wine, 1 loaf of bread for 9 men. The 10th, 10 sheep, of which 26 pounds were missing to be complete, one soopje of arrack, no wine, one loaf of bread for 7 men. The 11th, 10 sheep, there were 35 pounds missing to be complete, one loaf of bread for 7 men, no drink. Every day they gave vegetables and rice for the soup. Certified true and conforming to the original received yesterday from Robben Island from Mr. Difiniels, Captain Commandant in the Luxembourg Regiment. Signed: Chevalier de Raymond In the margin: at the Cape, the 13th of January 1789. Agrees: J. Goetz, First Clerk. [illegible]

Copy To the Right Honorable and Highly Esteemed Lord Cornelis Jacob van de Graaff Governor and Director of Cape of Good Hope and the dependencies thereof etc. etc. etc., as well as the Honorable Council. Right Honorable and Highly Esteemed Lord, Honorable Gentlemen. The undersigned Captains at Sea, Jan Arnold Voltelin and Cornelis van Vlaanderen, together with Captain Willem Buissinne and Captain-Lieutenant Adrianus Gijsbertus van Hervel, having been expressly commissioned by Your Right Honorable and Highly Esteemed and Honorable Council to proceed to the aforementioned Island in view of the complaints brought forward by the Regiment of Luxemburg presently on Robben Island regarding the ill treatment they claim to endure there, of which a copy of a missive has been handed to us by Your Right Honorable and Highly Esteemed and Honorable Council, and there to investigate and examine with exact and utmost accuracy what truth there is to those complaints; also whether there are enough tents to shelter the officers and common men of the said Regiment, whether the same are well-made, whether the sick are well cared for and provided with the necessary medicines and refreshments, whether the rations are distributed and issued according to the orders of the Honorable Company, what provisions and victuals have successively arrived there since the said regiment has been on that Island, and whether proper use is made thereof by those to whom it was requested, as well as whether the regiment suffers from one or another shortage, and if so, to state precisely what it consists of, in order that the said regiment may, if possible, be provided therewith, and further to make an ample report of this and everything else that shall arise in this commission, and should any redress be required concerning the treatment of the said troops there, to serve with the necessary report. Thus it is that, in accordance with the aforesaid order, we proceeded to the Island aforesaid, and there, regarding the first point of the submitted complaints concerning the purchase of bread and wine in the very beginning of their arrival on that Island, we found after careful investigation that this agrees with their statement, and indeed that too much was charged to them by the postholder for the wine and by the steward for the bread; without, however, our finding in any way that they were compelled or had reason to do so to prevent dying of hunger, as they claim in their complaint, since they received their rations of salt meat etc. from on board the ships. And as for their disembarked sick, they were helped as much as possible according to the circumstances of the time by Commander Ribourg through the provision of sheep etc. intended for the detachment of the Regiment of Württemberg stationed there. And as for the rest of their complaints up to 4 January, this could not be provided for because no fresh meat or bread was brought before 4 of the said month, either by the boat of that post or one of the government boats, consisting of 15 sheep and 142 loaves of bread etc., of which the required use was immediately made, as will further appear to Your Right Honorable and Highly Esteemed and Honorable Council from an annexed note from the Commanding Captain-Lieutenant Ribourg. Furthermore, we could not find that they can have any reason to complain concerning the rations and the barley on the other days, except in the issue of meat, as each sheep is issued to them at 50 lb clean on the hook, all the more so since until 7 January more wine, meat, and bread was distributed to them than the regulations on the issue of rations dictate. Passing now to the tents, it serves to inform Your Right Honorable and Highly Esteemed and Honorable Council that the same might have been sufficient if the sails had been of better quality and the entire regiment had disembarked in good health; however, 260 sick people compelled us to pitch two more tents for hospitals in order to separate the sick from the healthy, and thereby offer all possible aid to both, and also to use the small sails to cover the tents made of old sails, in order to preserve them as much as possible against the inclemency of the air at night and the heat of the sun by day. Next, upon inspection of the sick, we were informed by the doctor that they were in need of medicines and refreshments, for the former of which he had already sent an assistant Capewards 6 days ago to receive these medicines, this shortage having occurred because upon his departure for Robben Island he was unaware of how many sick there would be and of what nature the illness would be, and thus could not make a precise requisition for them. Wherefore

In the meantime we can fully inform Your Right Honourable and Honourable Sirs that none of the sick or healthy have complained about the treatment of the doctor, but on the contrary have praised it laudably. Furthermore, the rations were provided by Commander Hibourg from the disembarkation of the troops and before the same was provided with a regulation, more of what was issued to the regiment than said regulation primarily dictates, and the wines subsequently according to the receipt thereof, as the regulation states, for as much as was possible for him and as he was provided, satisfied until the 10th of this month, when the wine and arrack had to be halted because there was no more in stock; then, being provided again with a leaguer of arrack on the 15th of this month, the distribution was made in our presence pursuant to the instructions. In the meantime it has become evident to us that it is impossible to deliver the sheep at 50 lb each clean from the hook, as we have found that on 10 good sheep weighed with the uncleaned heads and all, there was a deficit in weight of 35 lb, which calculated at 3¼ lb per man constitutes a ration of 43 men. From the annexed note signed by Mr. Hibourg it will further appear to Your Right Honourable and Honourable Sirs what, how, and when said commander received the provisions, and how the same were delivered by him. We also take the liberty, with Your Right Honourable and Honourable Sirs' kind indulgence, to propose that it appears to us that instead of providing the men according to the regulation with 3 lb of sugar, 3 cans of arrack, 4 mutsjes of oil, 1 lb of butter, and tamarind, it would be more advantageous for the Honourable Company, correspond better with the way of life of said troops, and thus be more useful if in place thereof there could be provided to them 1 lb of meat and ½ bottle of wine to each man daily, since they can have little use for the aforementioned 3 items, as that mostly goes to waste or is used by them for improper purposes. Furthermore, they need to be provided with the necessary mattresses and blankets, or rather straw instead of mattresses, since the men mostly have to lie on the bare sand. Herewith we hope to have complied with the intention of Your Right Honourable and Honourable Sirs, and submit this as a humble report. We remain with the highest esteem, which was underwritten, Right Honourable, Valiant Sir and Honourable Gentlemen, lower down, Your Right Honourable and Honourable Sirs' obedient servants, was signed, J. A. Voltelen, Cornelis van Vlaanderen, Wm Buissinne, A. G. van Kervel, in the margin: Robben Island, the 15th of January 1789. Agrees. G. Goetz p. Eg.

Firstly, to embark such troops as belong to the said regiment and are mentioned in that order, ƒ o. 1, as well as to leave this roadstead as soon as possible in order to take in those troops, and to sail to Robben Island, the place where that company was disembarked by them and currently still remains. That they, the appearers, were prepared dutifully to fulfill the first part of that order as far as it is in their power and weather and wind shall permit, but that in the execution of the second part of that order they found many difficulties which they could not possibly justify to their shipowners or those whom it might concern, and specifically: because, according to the text of their respective charter parties, the loading and discharging of the vessels under their command must take place in a suitable harbor, for which the anchorage at Robben Island cannot in any way be held; secondly, because experience has taught the appearers during the disembarkation of the troops that the anchorage at Robben Island can by no means be called safe, since due to the fierce winds and heavy seas they suffered severe average there, both by the loss and damage of anchors and cables; thirdly, because the appearers, during the embarkation of the troops at Robben Island, would be obliged to keep the topmasts and yards aloft at all times on their said vessels under their command, and thus, due to the frequent and fierce southeasterly winds prevailing at this promontory during the present season, would run the risk of putting out to sea with the loss of anchors and cables, whereby not only the supply of victuals would have to decrease, but also a great delay in the embarkation of the troops and in the voyage itself could arise, which they considered would in all respects become prejudicial; and finally, because the appearers, due to the damages sustained at Robben Island, are almost entirely destitute of sufficient anchors and cables to undertake the voyage to Europe with complete peace of mind, whereby the first-mentioned appearers have already found themselves compelled, at great expense to their shipowners, to purchase anchors and cables from the Company's equipment warehouse, and thus cannot possibly expose what they still have on board to a foreseeable loss. And since all the fatalities and mishaps that could befall the said ships the Drie Gebroeders, the Susanna, and the Vrouwe Johanna during the embarkation of the troops at Robben Island could by no means be attributed to the neglect of duty or actions of the appearers, but solely to the execution of the orders received by them, the appearers jointly, and each of them in particular, expressly declare to protest against all damages or costs that could arise from the compliance with that order, whether in the execution itself or in the future, as well as against the consequences or attachments thereof, both for themselves and their principals or other interested parties, and this in the strongest and most solemn manner possible, as the appearers do hereby protest, reserving the right to seek recourse in due time in that regard, as well as to do and act as they shall see fit. And the appearers requested that by me, the first sworn clerk, a proper deed of protest should be executed; which is this present one, and of which upon their requisition three identical engrossments have been issued. Thus done and protested at the Cape of Good Hope on the year and day aforesaid, in the presence of the clerks Arnoldus Maasdorp and Abraham Faure Junior as witnesses, who have duly subscribed to the minute of this deed together with the appearers and me, the first sworn clerk. Below stood: To this I testify. Was signed: G T Goetz, first sworn clerk. Agrees. Goetz, sworn clerk. No. 4 No. 5 Copy Governor and Gentlemen, I cannot conceal from you the surprise of my officer corps when, upon paying them their recent allowances, I did not account to them for a bonus of ten rix-dollars which the national officers enjoy here; Article 3 of the second capitulation is so explicit on this that several enlightened persons to whom I communicated it agree that it is not susceptible to any interpretation, and that the rights of my officer corps are established in the most express terms and the most literal sense. I hope, Gentlemen, that you will favorably receive representations based on justice and equity. To His Excellency Governor van de Graaff and the Gentlemen of the Council. I am, with very profound respect, Below stood: Governor and Gentlemen, Lower: Your very humble and very obedient servant. Was signed: Chevalier de Raymond. In the margin: Cape Town, 22 January 1789. Agrees. Goetz, first sworn clerk. No. 5 No. 3 To Governor van de Graaff and the Gentlemen of the Council. Governor and Gentlemen, In accordance with various articles of the capitulation which assimilates the regiment of Luxembourg to the national troops for supplies or other items whatsoever at Company prices, I have the honor to request that you deliver to me from your warehouses, as an item of primary necessity, the quantity of cloth for a waistcoat and trousers for each soldier. The illness with which the regiment has been afflicted between the Island of Ceylon and this place, and the reports made to me by the surgeons regarding its nature, have fully convinced me that one could attribute only to the raw mornings or to the rains the loss...

No. [illegible] loss of so many men, this consideration, Gentlemen, founded on justice and on the rights of the Capitulation, gives me cause to expect that you will give the most precise orders for the delivery of these supplies, which I will pay for in cash: I have the honour to request that you also distribute to me 48 skins for drums, 6 coils of cordage and 20 pairs of hoops, on the same terms that the Governor of Ceijlan provided them to the regiment, and to add to all these items 100 pieces of canvas for the lining of 1300 spare uniforms of which the soldier cannot do without at all.

My gratitude and my respect will be boundless. [was signed:] Chv.n de Raijmond Agreed J Goetz Jbg Clerk. No. 4 To His Excellency, the Governor, and the Gentlemen Councillors Governor, Sir, and Gentlemen, The boredom and inactivity of the Regiment de Luxembourg at Robbin Island, together with other compelling reasons, make me wish to have it depart for Europe as soon as possible, and to have the honour of requesting you to proceed accordingly with everything necessary for an arduous and long voyage, both for the officer and for the soldier. I think, Gentlemen, that this plan will align with your views, given that eighty of the sickest men will still not be in a condition to set out between now and the end of March; three officers whom I will keep here with me will be more than sufficient to look after this small number under my orders, as well as the remainder of the regiment which the Governor of Ceijlan has undertaken to send on to me by the Company vessel the Gouverneur Falck. I hope, Governor, Sir, and Gentlemen, that you will remain convinced that it is only the general good, both of the Noble Company and of the Prince de Luxembourg, that causes me to act in this circumstance; for the rest, Gentlemen, I submit this operation to your discernment and to your justice, being more than convinced that you will take it into consideration.

By granting me this new favour, you will add to my gratitude.

The months of February and March. I remain with profound respect, underwritten: Governor and Gentlemen, lower: Your very humble and very obedient servant, signed: Chevalier de Raymond in the margin: Cape of Good Hope, 19 February 1789. Agreed. Goetz, Public Clerk. No. 7 Copy No. 2 To His Excellency His Excellency Mr. van de Graaff, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, and to the Gentlemen Councillors of the High Regency of this city. Governor and Gentlemen, I beg you to order the Customs Directors to allow the loading at the port of everything related to the mess table of the Officers of the Luxembourg Regiment, as well as their other effects, to be transported aboard the Johanna, the Suzanna, and the Trois Frères. I have likewise had the honor of asking you several times for cordage and drum skins, which the Regiment likewise cannot do without; To deliver 150 mattresses, with which these three vessels must necessarily be provided to supply the sick, in order to alleviate the calamities that do not cease to occur on such a long voyage; To add to this delivery one blanket for each non-commissioned officer and soldier, considering that the Regiment, leaving a very hot country and passing through very cold regions before its arrival in Europe, would be exposed to the most imminent dangers. It is not possible, Governor and Gentlemen, to reduce anything from these two items, which by their nature are of the highest importance; To distribute the 6 casks of beer due to the Officers for their table, of which the government of Ceylon has given you notice. It is likewise essential, as you were kind enough to promise me, to replace the provisions of the troops, that is to say, to have the soldiers given alternately one day biscuit, one day rice, and to substitute wine for arrack, to preserve the Regiment from the diseases with which it has unfortunately been so afflicted since Ceylon. The matter of the medicines is no less important, those aboard the various vessels being in very small quantity and of poor quality. I likewise ask you to order their replacement, after the inspection that will have been made by the Regimental Surgeon and the one whom it will please the Company to designate. I remain with very profound respect, underwritten: Governor and Gentlemen, lower: Your very humble and very obedient servant, signed: Chevalier de Raymond in the margin: Cape of Good Hope, 18 February 1789. Agreed. J. Goetz, Public Clerk. No. I, the undersigned, Lieutenant Colonel commanding the Luxembourg Regiment, acknowledge having received from the Government at the Cape of Good Hope the quantity of five hundred twenty-two number cotton blankets, Small Coast, one hundred and fifty pieces of mattresses and pillows, to be distributed among the regiment to each non-commissioned officer and soldier; And the above-mentioned mattresses and pillows for the use of the sick on the voyage. And I further acknowledge that I have received the above-mentioned supply on account of the aforementioned Regiment, the value of which the Gentlemen of the Directorate in Europe, if Their High Noble Excellencies should see fit, may deduct from the pay still due to the Regiment. Four identical copies of this have been issued to serve wherever and however appropriate. In the Castle of Good Hope, 25 February 1789. Chevalier de Raymond No. 8 Account of such blankets, mattresses, and pillows as have been supplied to the Luxembourg Regiment from the Company's warehouses, and for which four identical receipts have been signed here by Lieutenant Colonel de Raymond, commanding the said regiment. 522 pieces of cotton blankets, Small Coast: f 2192.6. 150 mattresses and 150 pillows: f 750.- Total: f 2942.6.

Chenius No. 9 To the Honorable, Valiant Sir, Cornelis Jacob van de Graaff, Governor and Director of the Cape of Good Hope and its dependencies, etc., etc., together with the Honorable Council of Policy. Honorable and Valiant Sir, Honorable Gentlemen, The chartered ships De Drie Gebroeders, Josephus de Tweede, and De Vrouwe Susanna having been assisted on their outbound voyage by several sailors on account of the weakness of their crews, as appears from the list annexed hereto, their closed pay accounts were sent by the undersigned Pay Bookkeeper with those vessels to Ceylon, with the addition of a Pay Memorandum indicating that, since the said persons had only been placed on those vessels for assistance, their final discharge was referred to the Gentlemen of the Ceylon Government, with a request to the pay officials there, in case the said crewmen were again employed in the service of the Honorable Company, the

The humble undersigned finds himself informed, both by a received pay memorandum and also an extract of a missive from Colombo, that it was deemed fit there to send back the aforementioned crew members, with their pay accounts received from here unsettled, to the disposal of your Right Honorable and Honorable, except two who remained in Gale as soldiers and whose earned monthly wages were charged to the Expense Account of the ship De Drie Gebroeders. Therefore, while the frequently mentioned crew members have not yet been finally discharged from the Honorable Company's service to date, and ten of the same from the ship De Drie Gebroeders are already in the hospital on account of indisposition, and presumably will not be in a condition to be able to continue their voyage therewith, the respectful undersigned takes the liberty most humbly to propose to your Right Honorable and Honorable that it might be to your supreme pleasure to have the Expense Account of the aforementioned ship De Drie Gebroeders charged for such monthly wages earned and accrued since the time they were employed on that vessel until they, through illness, remained here again in the service of the Honorable Company; and with respect to those who continue on those keels, that their debit balance be paid by the skippers into the Company's Treasury here, or, in case they are not provided with funds for the payment thereof, that the same also be charged to the Expense Account. Furthermore, I take the liberty in all respect to propose to the disposal of your Right Honorable and Honorable whether those persons who have been placed on the aforementioned keels pursuant to the resolution of your Right Honorable and Honorable dated 8 January 1788 and by order of the Right Honorable Lord Governor, and are to proceed therewith on their voyage to Europe, are to receive half the premium from the Honorable Company and the other half from the shipowners upon their arrival there.

Jacobus Kers of Eupen, ordinary seaman, to whom the undersigned Governor, upon his repeated requests, has permitted, in order to settle some family matters, to depart for Europe with this vessel without a penny of monthly wages. Johannes Pietersen of Amsterdam, arrived at this Government with the aforementioned ship Josephus de Tweede, and to whom we, by Political Council resolution of the 21st of this month, have permitted to continue his voyage with one of the Company's ships. Bonaventura Dedier, of Savoy, arrived at this remote corner per the Ceylon return ship de Batavier, whom we have likewise permitted to sail home with this vessel without earning any salary. We further take the liberty of accompanying this with the duplicates of our respectful letters addressed and dispatched to the illustrious Board of the High and Mighty Lords Seventeen under dates of 9, 18, 21, and 30 March, as well as 3, 9, 25 of this month, and today, per the ships Werkllust, de Scipio, Handellust, de Goede Hoop, de Meermin, de Ceres, de Gouverneur Falk, and the bearer of this, together with the muster rolls of the ships Meerwyk, Vreedenburg, de Faam, Demerary, Christophorus Columbus, Neerlands Welvaren, de Gouverneur Falk, de Generaal Maatzuiker, Leiden, and the bearer of this. Concluding herewith, we commend Your Right Honourable Excellencies and the Honourable Company's interests to God's safe keeping, and call ourselves with all possible respect, Honourable, Valiant, Right Grand Respected, Most Wise, Prudent, Most Generous and Ruling Lords, In the Castle of Good Hope, the 28th of April 1789.

The privately chartered ship 't Fortuijn, destined by the Ceylon Government for the transport of a part of the regiment of Luxemburg, having been detained here by us because the state of health of many of the soldiers belonging to that corps did not permit them to be dispatched simultaneously with the ships Susanna, Johanna, and de Drie Gebroeders that departed from here previously, having now also been put in condition to sail for Europe through the embarkation of: 4 Officers 1 Priest, and 120 non-commissioned officers as well as privates, that vessel has been placed under the convoy of the aforementioned Mr. van Halm, and we take the liberty of presenting herewith to Your Right Honourable Excellencies a copy of our humble letters dispatched today to the Right Honourable Lords Directors at the Chamber of Zeeland, to whom, pursuant to Your Right Honourable Excellencies' venerated orders, we have rendered an account of all that has occurred at this Government regarding the aforementioned Luxemburg troops.

Concluding herewith, we commend Your Right Honourable Excellencies' most respected persons together with the weighty interests of the Honourable Company to God's safe keeping, and subscribe with deeply dutiful respect, Honourable, Valiant, High and Mighty, Most Wise, Prudent, Most Generous, and High Ruling Lords, Your
