King Christian III of Denmark to Christoffer Hvidtfeldt: has recently allowed citizens of Bergen to trade in the Faroes, but now Thomas Koppen from Hamburg has complained that due to the bad last year, he has a lot of outstanding debts on the islands, which he fears he cannot collect if Bergen citizens are trading there as well. Therefore, it is requested that they will not trade there until Koppen has collected his outstanding debts.
