Staðastað

Governour Johan Bockholt of Iceland to Bremen: requests to allow Roleff Gerdes to sail to Iceland, who was forbidden by the city council to sail to the harbour Kummerwage for his brother-in-law Joachim Kolling. As Kolling has a license to use this harbour, Roleff Gerdes has every right to sail for him. Moreover, the deceased Johan Munsterman is still indebted to Jacob Petersonn.

Bremen

Bremen to Johan Bockholt, governour in Iceland: a letter from Heine Ratken to his wife, in which he slandered about Bockholt, was given to Roleff Gerdes to deliver, who withheld it. As the letter has come to Bockholt's attention, he should be aware of the fact that it was destined for Ratken's wife only, and therefore, it is asked that he allows Ratken to move and trade freely like before.

Bessastaðir

Johan Bockholt to Bremen: Heine Ratken has traded illegally in Kummerwage in Iceland, which is licensed to Joachim Kolling. Kolling must have found the letter from Ratken to his wife, in which he spoke badly about Bockholt, in Rolof Gerdes's house and brought it to Bockholt in anger. Gerdes has nothing to do with it, and Bockholt never forbade Ratken to come to Iceland because of the letter.
