  4. [S721] Precis of the archives of the Cape of Good Hope, p.197: We have referred the freeman Jan Harmense and Lucretia Pieters to you, they wish to leave, but with a free passage. We likewise refused perrmissiom to said Lucretia to marry a Company's servant here, as we are short of men. With this she is much dissatisfied, and no doubt will complain that a great injustice has been done to her. We, however, care very little about such complaints, and only mention them for your information.

Richards & Sons, Government Printers, 1896), 18 June 1699. p.121 [to Mauritius]: That the Commander has refused to allow the marriage between the widow Lawrensz and a Company's servant, because there are too few Company's servants there for the work, is a most insufficient reason, and contrary to all divine and human law regarding marriage. Should they still feel iuclined, they are to be allowed to marry according to the Church rite and usage. The freeman Jan Harmausz Wattering may come to the Cape, and also Lucretia, if still a widow. On their arrival we will consider the expenses of their passage.. Hereinafter cited as Precis of the archives of the Cape of Good Hope.
