Scope and content
Mentions that £100 is expected from Corsini to be paid to Antonio Kee on behalf of Bartolotti of Hamburg and includes news of the arrival of English ships carrying cloth. Bartolotti notes that because of discord between the West Friesdlanders and the Dutch, no ships are allowed to unload cargo at Groningen - he hopes that the arrival of the English ambassador will sort matters out, but in the meantime there is no trade until the embargo is lifted.
