In the year 1690, on the 4th of July in Nauenburg
Virtuous, Highly Esteemed, [especially?] Highly Venerable Sir, greetings.
Your [letter] of the 15th of the past [month] has been duly received, informing that [Your Grace?], that everyone has duly received the 64 florins laid out for Mr. Johan Taylor; also Mr. Taylor has again received goods for the Englishman [?]. The enclosed invoice amounts to 107 fl. 18 [gr.], as [...] command to be credited to Your Grace, with the hope that this will be satisfactory; this can also be settled at the Michaelmas fair, if you wish to notify us of this.
