In a letter to the Directors of the Amsterstam Chamber West Indies Company, de Raisiere reports on his voyage; "I advised the honorable gentlemen of our arrival in Plymouth on the 15th of May and of our departure thense on the 22nd, in company of the five East India Yachts, with whom we remained until the 29th ditto, in latitude 42/12 degree. As the weather was rough, with a southeast wind, and we were quite as swift as they, we were separated from each other until June 5th, when in latitude 37 degree 50', we saw sails. Thinking that they were Spaniards and being to the weather-side of them we ran down to them, but seeing that they were not Spanish ships, but the yachts, we kept on our course without waiting for them, the wind being northeast by east with fair weather. Nothing remarkable occured until July 28th, when we came to anchor in the river before Fort Amsterdaym, with many persons sick with scurvy, who, thank God, are now again in good health."
