Hamburg
Clawes von Kleve to Hamburg: relates how he has traded in Patersforde and Bildal in Iceland with his father for 40 years, and is now hired by Malmö merchant Olof Zuckerbecker to sail for him to Iceland, but the merchants who used to sail to the harbour Haneforde are obstructing him. He complains that they only do so out of jealousy, as their own license has expired, and that he is not acting against the city law, because he will sail from and return to Hamburg.
