Miscellaneous
...In the 21st paragraph it is said that the Secunde Samuel Elsevier possesses an abnormally large piece of land at the so-called "Klapmuts", where the Company up to date has not cattle station. That during the administration of the ex-Governor Simon van der Stel, two burghers, named Gert Jansz Visser and Barend Hendrikse, each had a farm in the neighbourhood ; that, however, both were driven away by the Secunde, because they were too near the Company's post, although the said Secunde possesses that post of the Company at present with the surrounding lands.
The Governor replies that the Administrator certainly did commence to lay out a farm for his diversion, but that the farm of the writer surpasses that of the Secunde in extent and in buildings ; that it is true that about 24 years ago two freemen had settled there with their cattle, but that, at that time, that part of the country was beyond the border, and too near the Company's post "Klapmuts" which was being built. For that reason the Governor gave each of them another farm in the district of Stellenbosch, but, as since that time the Klapmuts station had been abandoned, the ex-Governor Simon van der Stel had given the Administrator a piece of land surveyed there.
