Berndt Salfeld to Hamburg: complains about how he went to the harbour Reff in Iceland to pick up a load of stockfish which was traded by his brother David, and which he couldn't take last year, but was accused by lawman Jon Jonsson that his license was expired, and his brother David had traded illegally in Reff, and his goods and booths were confiscated.

Final version
High German
On the back: Lectum in senatu 9 septembris anno anno[!] 1603.
This version is almost identical to 16030923HAM00, but has some striking changes: Salfeldt was accused by lawman Jon Jonsson instead of Ewalt Kruse, who accused him that his license had been expired for one year instead of three; his father traded for 50 instead of 60 years in Reff; the number of fishes was 500-600, worth 30-35 daler instead of 300-400, worth 20-25 daler.
