Confusing - Is this a patent to Wouter van Twiller, who was the director-general, given by himself and the DWIC? Or was a director and a director-general two different entities?
Several "From" parties.
Not sure of DWIC's role, could technically be a grantor but intermediary with the Indians.
Also, in this capacity Twiller may have been an individual, not the director or director-general.
May want to be more specific than "Long Island", with the translation saying: "...called Castetuen located on the island, by them called Suwanhackingh "
