Summary of three page document (NNA 1.01.02 Vol.5550 f.2r; NNA 1.01.02 Vol.5550 f.2v; NNA 1.01.02 Vol.5550 f.3r)

Thirteen Dutch merchants fear the English will capture the ships, under pretence that they want to check if there are no goods of enemy states, and the merchants fear it will then be virtually impossible to get the goods back. To prevent such inconveniences they ask for the admiralty to recommend to the States General to send a convoy to bring the ships safely to Amsterdam/the Netherlands. If that would cause the Republic problems with other states due to previous agreements, then they ask for a convoy to bring the ships safely to Ostend so the Dutch merchants could pick up their merchandise and silver there. That would ensure it will not end up in English hands, which is a benefit for the Dutch state as it would otherwise strengthen the English cause and ruin the Dutch merchants.

This unfoliated three page document is from the incoming correspondence of the States General from the various Dutch Admiralties [the foliation in page title is artifical].

The document was sent by thirteen leading Dutch merchants trading with Spain, who were expecting delivery of Spanish silver bullion being transported to them them in neutral ships of Hamburg and Ostend. War had broken out between England and the United Provinces and the Dutch merchants were fearful that the English would seize neutral ships.

The signators were Nicolaos Van Hulten, Henriq Mathias, Philips Pelt, Jacomo Rulandt, Floris Visscher, Daniel Desmazieres, Guilliam Momma, Albert Lemmerman, Gerbrant Dobbesen, Jan van Brouck, Cornelis Gijsbert van Goor, Jan Ernst Van Basten, Jacques Martin.
