Notes
Francis Sanderson, Danzig correspondent of Sir William Ryder
Sir William Ryder appears to have a correspondent called Fr.[ances?] Sanderson in Dantzig, who wrote on Oct 3. 1665 to "Sir. Wm. Rider and Co.":
"Acknowledges the cargo of the East India ships; has no hopes of selling the indigo till next spring; wine, tobacco, rice and sugar are likely to be profitable, since the Dutch are beaten, and the last Polish letters advise and agreement between the King and Lubomirsky [11 lines more in the calendar summary] from Adm Papers[1]
Another letter from Fr. Sanderson, also in Item 48 [I think it may be the enclosure]. It is a letter from Fr. Sanderson to Wm. Rider, dated Dantzic (sic), Oct. 10 and 14, 1665:
"Vessels are delayed, not being suffered to unload for fear of infection; grieves to hear of the heavy judgement of the plague in London; business disbursements at Riga; hears that the custom house officers at Pillau have refused to clear English ships till further order, because the King stayed in England two of the Elector of Brandenburg’s vessels. Particulars of Abraham of Dixon of Newcastle’s ship being stopped at Pillau." [Adm. Paper][2]
Background on Francis Sanderson
R.W.K. Hinton, The Eastland Trade and the Commonweal in the Seventeenth Century (Cambridge, 1959), references a number of letters from Frances Sanderson to XXXX Williamson inn 1673 and 1674, which appear to be in the UKNA State Papers [e.g. SP 88/13, 13 May 1673 to 7 April 1674 referenced in FN 2, p. 158, Ibid. in which Sanderson asks Williamson advice on the best nationality to give a new 350 ton ship he was building in Danzig; and SP 88/13, 15 December 1674, in which Sanderson "gave Williamson an account of the Eastland company's trade on which he attached no importance to exports other than cloth and dealt cursorily with imports"[3]
