months Heer vAN TWIST was succeeded in 1642 by Heer 
JEREMIAS VAN VLIET as 2nd Governor of Malacca, who 
arrived there from Palembang and Jambi on 7th November 
per de Luypaard ; his installation as such took place on 15th 
December by the Commissioner PIETER BOREEL, whereupon 
Heer VAN TWIST left this place with the vessel on 21st 
December. 
On 27th April, 1645, a letter from their Honours arrived

Batavia on 11th ditto, after an administration of about 3 years.
