Carsten Bake to Bremen: request for a prolongation of the license for the harbours Neswage and Lando on behalf of Friedrich Koster, who sailed for Bake to these harbours before. Moreover, Gerdt Dreyer is summoned to pay the money he still owes to Bake because of shipped goods, plus the tolls which he still owes to the former governour Hinrick Kracke. Finally, the new governour Brostrup Gedde demands a new letter of consignment from Bremen in order to retain his position as sysselman in Snæfellsnes.
