This is a sealed document from Paduka Duli Maha Sarri Maulana Sultan Muhammad Badaruddin
of Sulu issued the judgement and authority to his friend, an
Englishman, named Mr Haynes, at Laminusa, asking for cooperation with the people,
the subjects of the Sultan, from the Sulu nation/people [bangsa], sent there, to Australia,
since the subjects of the Sultan were entrusted to Mr Haynes himself by the Sultan to him, and he pays a salary of seven silver [coins?] monthly per head,
Wherever Mr Haynes, or his partners, go, do join them if it is good. And the
agreement with Mr Haynes, he will bring a good ship of Mr Chippendall,
the captain of the ship, who would be remembered as a good friend by the Sultan,
the Sultan entrusts his subjects to Mr Haynes, for him to take care of,
buy clothing and food, anything the people want, and the agreement
is that they are paid seven silver [coins], [but] Mr Haynes may follow his heart and may pay more, other
than the salary. If [he] does not obey what is in the heart of Mr Haynes his salary would be deducted. But
in the agreement, after six months duration, he will send [the recruit] back to Sulu.
With good feelings. End of the letter.
