Hamburg to the Hanseatic Kontor in London: Hamburg and Bremen merchants have assisted the Danish governour in Iceland against English merchants last summer, and the Kontor's secretary Bartholomeus van der Linden will bring a copy of Hamburg's reply to the complaints of the English king. Also, the merchants who will sail to Iceland next year have been ordered to behave peacefully towards the English there.
