...
The freeman Cornelis Dirksz Cool of Schoonderwaert, with wife and children, arrived in the "Meydrecht" (see your despatches of 16th December, 1700, and 12th January, 1701). He is honestly earning his living by labour.
The same ship also brought us the house timber. We pray that more may be sent, as it is much in demand among the freemen. ... "
