Order referring bill of Cornelis Clock to the directors in Holland
The foregoing petition being read, it was resolved: This is referred to the lords directors, as the director general and councilors inquire whether the barbers for the agreed upon cargo and expenditures’ money, ought to serve the soldiers and other officers, except for intentional wounds and sickness from unsanitary conditions; more so, as long as the soldiers are aboard the ship, they are along with others obliged to help defend and free the ship and cargo against [ and from ] all enemies, and if they receive any injuries or wounds and paralysis as a result, the reimbursement should come and remain at the expense of the barber [barbier] or at the expense of the skipper. Dated as above.
