Copenhagen

Copenhagen merchants with Iceland to king Christian IV of Denmark: complaint about Johan Holtgreve from Hamburg, who sailed as a Helsingør merchant to Spakonefeldshoved and from there to Botsand, and about Hamburg merchants in Watlose, who interfere with their business in Kibbelwick, Grindewick and Haneforde.

Hamburg

Hamburg to king Christian IV of Denmark: answer to the complaint of Copenhagen merchants that Hamburg merchants have interfered in their business by using the harbour Watlose in Iceland, which is unfair, because they still had a valid license to use the harbour, and ask to sail there for one more year, because they still have many outstanding debts because of the bad weather last year.

Johann Holdtgreve to [Hamburg]: request to be released from custody on the payment of a bail, because he has heard from his merchants from Helsingør that the Danish king is in Norway, so it will take a long time before his case can be judged, and in the meantime he cannot do business.
