JURRIAEN (GEORGE) PROBASCO'S WIC INVESTMENT TRANSLATION AND TRANSCRIPTION

Dated February 1656

by Nora J. Probasco

The following information was translated from original documents by Cor Snabel. Cor is transcribing various Dutch documents and found this particular document. With our working together he is very aware of the Probasco surname. I was able to obtain a better copy of the full document for him to transcribe and translate.

First page translation:

“So by the faithless rebellion of the Portuguese in Brazil and elsewhere and also by other adversities the West Indies Company has been financially set back and is unable to satisfy their creditors. The directors of the Amsterdam Chambers, who want with all their hearts to satisfy all their creditors in an equal way and without distinction, have decided, in expressing their affection to these creditors, to come forth with reasonable proposals which have been discussed and will be proceeded in the following way.
First there will not be any distinction between debts from obligations or merchandises, company needs, ammunition for war and other goods. Also that all claims of loss of interests during the time of the company's incompetence shall not be compensated any time in the future.
That the before mentioned directors will do everything in their power to obtain the money to pay the investors an interest of two percent per year, and if possible two-and-half percent or even more per year, starting on the first day of May 1656. With the restriction that nobody will demand more than the above mentioned percentage. The directors promise to act with caution and in their most competent way on behalf of the company and the investors to make it possible to pay the above mentioned interest. Under the condition and restriction that the investors do promise that they follow the terms and conditions as agreed by the directors and investors, without any objections or legal procedures, in which case they will lose all their rights and they will have to pay for any damage or loss suffered by the company.

The document signed within the city of Amsterdam on the 10 February 1656 and some following days."

Cor Snabel's comments:

324 persons have signed this document.
273 persons mention their investment with a total of f. 1,121,372
over these 273 gives an average of 4,107.60
IF these are all investors and assuming the remaining 51 investors had invested the average sum, than the Amsterdam chamber of the WIC has a sum of about
324 x 4,107.60 = f. 1,330,859

In 1600 the Amsterdam chamber of the VOC had a sum of f. 3.674.915
