This seal[ed document] is a sign of trust of the administration of the royal utterance from his majesty Padukka Maha Sarri Maulana
Sultan Muhammad Badaruddin goes to all the elders in the entirety of Siasi
And so: this time there is an Englishman coming to visit Siasi, asking permission from the Sultan
to do business, buying and selling, his name is Mr Haynes, on board a steamship
it is up to each elder there on behalf of the Sultan to determine the good and bad [in Mr Haynes]
take care of him, if there's an instruction from him, please help him,
every one of you, and from the royal command of the Sultan, he asks permission to build a house here, so allow him to build his house
The Sultan here, and if he returns home, he will be replaced by his English representative, by all means. End of letter.
