4028 (1690-1691)

Some of the signees of the request by the French free men to Simon van der Stel concerning the discord between Rev. Pierre Simond and Jacques de Savoije

This volume contains papers and letters for the period 1690 to 1691 and were received in the year 1691.

• The missive indexed as folios 55 to 63 is not present in the volume. A note in the margin says it was mistakenly bound in this volume and subsequently removed, and bound in the book of letters from Suratte in Persia, and can be found in-between folios 375 and 376 (of that book).
• The rolls of arriving and departing vessels has suffered some damaged and the loose papers are bound in the wrong order.
• Of the rolls of livestock only one of the two folios (83 and 84) is present but it is not possible to establish which one it is as the corner of the page is torn.
  The index to the Daghregister mistakenly states that it ends on 31 December 1691. In fact it ends on 31 December 1690.
• Folio 245 of the Afgaande Briefboek is not present. It was not scanned. 
• Folio 586 of the Rev. Pierre Simond's elaborate answer (in both French an Dutch) to the complaints made against him by Jacques de Savoije, is not present. It was not scanned. 
• A note in the margin of the table of contents next to the entry for folios 651 to 652 reads 'Uitgenomen' implying that the floor plan of the fort (Good Hope) was removed and archived elsewhere.
