[ From the Original In the Eoyal Archives at the Hagne; Sicretekaa of the States General; Division, West Indische CompagnU, No. 9.] Secret. High and Mighty Lords. In our provisional answer of the IS"" of this current month to your High Mightinesses despatch of the 6'"' instant concerning the Swedes who have arrived from New Netherland, we offered to furnish a further Report of what occurred there, which we have since had prepared with the proper verifications; and have resolved to transmit herewith to your High Mightinesses with an humble request, that on considering them, the circumstances of the case and the reasons thereunto appertaining, you will please not to take it ill of the Company, that it had so far regarded the honor of this Slate as to evince at last some resentment at the several affronts, injuries and damages perpetrated against us by the Swedes in the aforesaid district, and that we have provided, as far as it lay in our power, that the unheard of and hostile usurpations of that nation be afforded no new occasion to attempt, unhindered and at their pleasure, similar invasions of the Company's possessions, as daily experience hath sufficiently taught.
