Missive from Batavia to Nagasaki, June 16, 1670

That there are no possibilities to trade on Corea, we have understood that always like that, for the same reason that is quoted in the missive of last 5th of October; in the meantime it's not bad, that there is a pull of several goods thither, though from the other side the Company suffers loss with the  600 picol silk as well as general cargo that were transported by that way in Japan
