Title: Petition of certain SOLDIERS of BERGEN to their GOVERNOR and the CAPTAINS of the COUNCIL OF WAR.
Description:

--Petitioners state that more than a year ago, by permission of Lord Willoughby, they sent a certain quantity of cambric from Bergen to Dordrecht and sold it there ; but that Sir William Drury stayed 200 gulden or thereabouts of the money in the hands of the "Schouteth" of Dordrecht, saying that he had a right so to do. They pray that the "Schouteth" may be ordered to deliver up the money.

 

With note that "in the margin stands written" that the Governor and Captains find that, in reason, the money should be sent into the hands of Sir Thomas Morgan, governor of Bergen, to be disposed of as shall be found proper. Signed by Morgan, John Poley, Paul Bacx and Marcell Bacx.
