Hamburg

Peter Lutkens, Paul Cordes, and Peter Kruse to Hamburg: as their request for a license for the harbour Bernforde in Iceland was declined because it was already given to another Hamburg merchant, they now request a license for Flatto in Bardestrandssyssel, which has been used since 1586 by Carsten Bake from Bremen, but has now become free.
