The manuscript document is an extended permit issued to the Duchess of Croÿ, and her son Ernest Bogusław, Duke of Croÿ, who according to an agreement had been permitted for the last five years to ship, duty free, fifty tons of grain from the port of Stettin in Hommed, and allowing the shipments to continue duty free for the next five years and ordering that all customs officials be made aware of the renewal of the existing permit.
