| | The Delaware Finns |
 | | Governor Leijonhufvud had previously in a letter of July 27, 1639, to the government, complained that the Finns in the Finnmarks of his province were destroying much forest. |
 | | The unsettled cannot be trusted with the abandoned farms, but you may prevail upon them to go with their wives and children to New Sweden, to where we are sending Kalmar Nyckel (which lately returned from there and is now in Gothenburg), with a multitude of people. |
 | | On February 8, 1641, the government again wrote to Governor Leijonhufvud ordering him, in case he could not prevail upon people to go to New Sweden, to capture all the "forest destroying" Finns found in his district, about whom he had made complaints. |
