Bremen
Bremen's instruction for the secretary Daniel Bisterfeldt, who is sent to discuss the matter about the rightful use of the harbour Ostforde/Bernforde, in which it is stated that it can be proven that Marten Losekanne and his predecessors have rightfully used the harbour under the name Ostforde for decades, and that it is therefore not true that they have changed a license for Wapenforde to the invented name Ostforde, as Hamburg merchant Daniel Elers claims.

Cordt Basse, Hans Schomaker, Hans Hering and Hans Lindeman to Hamburg: request for a combined license for two harbours in Iceland, namely Wapenforde, formerly used by Paul Lindeman, father of Hans, and Dureshave in Langenes, formerly used by the others, because both harbours are too close to each other to sail there with two ships.

Heinrich Moller to Hamburg: request for a license for the harbour Wapenforde in Iceland, which was formerly held by Paul Lindeman, but he was attacked by pirates in two consecutive years, and could not get to Iceland because of storm in 1591, after which Moller went there instead.

Hamburg to king Christian IV of Denmark: request for renewal of the licenses for the harbours Wapenforde and Dureshave in Langenes in Iceland on behalf of Cordt Basse, Hans Schomaker, Hans Hering, and Hans Lindeman. It is also requested to merge the two licenses, as it is better to sail there with one large ship than with two small ones, for protection against pirates.
