Brief van ds. Hooyman aan de koster 1779 - 1785

This handwritten note, "Brief van ds. Hooyman aan de koster", was written by Johannes Hooyman between 1779 and 1785. The note appears to be a directive from the minister to the church sexton, regarding the "liedboek" or hymn book and the "ledenmaten boek" or membership book. The note is written in Dutch and signed "(Hooyman)". This note provides insight into the daily operations of a church and the role of its leaders in the 18th century.
