Peter Sivers to king Christian IV of Denmark: request for renewal of his license for the harbour Schagestrand in Iceland, and protection of his business against Laurens Schroder, who was in his service for two years, and then acquired his own license for Ruteforde, which is so close to Schagestrand that it can be considered the same harbour.
