Commentary
Notes:
- A bond interest calculation — someone holding a £50 bond and calculating the interest due. The bond itself is not named or identified here, but given the context of Elizabeth’s estate management this is almost likely related to one of the bonds from BH086, Bh089 (Andries' inventories) or the estate settlements.
- “1½ Jaer interest” — one and a half years’ interest, suggesting the bond had been running since mid-1771, consistent with the estate settlement timeline.
- “Te kwaad Gebleven op de Interest van t Jaer 1766” — “remained owing on the interest of the year 1766” — a striking detail. There was an outstanding interest balance going back to 1766 — seven years earlier — that had never been fully paid. This connects to the period when Jacobus was still alive and managing accounts, suggesting this bond predates Elizabeth’s widowhood.
- £50 principal — a substantial bond, consistent with the financial scale of the Huyck estate operations.
- £12:14:9 received against a total due of £6:19:4 — the arithmetic suggests a payment was made that more than covered the interest due, with the excess applied to principal, reducing the balance to £43:0:8.
- The 1766 interest arrear of £0:10:5 is a small but telling detail — someone had been carrying an interest shortfall for seven years, suggesting either a disputed calculation or a longstanding informal arrangement finally being regularized.
- This document may be a memorandum Elizabeth made for her own records rather than a receipt from a third party — the Dutch language and informal format suggest an internal calculation rather than a formal document.
