Sir, It had been some time since I had used your services. It turns out that my stadtholder is embarrassed. He had mounted a small expedition to escort the grandson of his friend the Prince-elector of Saxony to Suriname, to show him the riches of America. But this expedition was a fiasco, so much so that no one knows what happened to the fleet. Finally ... until we receive these documents. Somewhere in the Caribbean, the last survivor of the expedition would have taken refuge with an inhabitant of an island that we must find. He alone can testify to what happened. Would you understand these clues that have come down to us and trace him back wherever he may be? Your help is invaluable. Johan Maurits.
