Johan Runge to Bremen: in replication to the answer of Segebad Detken in the lawsuit about the use of the harbour Baltasound in Shetland, Runge states that Detken had abandoned the harbour some years before, that he could have mentioned he wanted to use it again before they set sail to Shetland, and that the other harbours were in use by other merchants, so that they had no choice but to sail on to Norway.

[Governour Johan Bockholt of Iceland to Hamburg]: explains how he has forbidden Hamburg merchants Simon Schmidt, Matthias Eggers, Jochim Focke and Jochim Warneke to use the harbours Ost- and Horneforde, after complaints of Bremen merchants Bernd Losekanne and Christoffer Meyer. However, they have traded there nevertheless, and therefore he asks again to prevent them from using the mentioned harbours.
