Aarhus

Niels Busk to Fritz Pöner, toll collector in Rendsburg: mentions how he has talked to his son in Aarhus, who was interested in applying for a license for a harbour in Iceland, and that one harbour in the west has become free. As he already has a license for Ströme himself, he is not interested in it, but he has heard that men from Bremen have also applied for it. Therefore, Pöner's sons should apply immediately, as the Bremen men will receive an answer on February 14.
