17 The proofs for these relations cannot be found in the official resolutionbooks of the States of Holland, for those books do not give any information about voting in the assemblies. But some deputies took more detailed minutes themselves for the use of their cities, mentioning it; in these years the pensionary of the small town of Medemblik, Nicolaes Stellingwerff, was very active. His minutes are in the keeping of the Gemeentearchief of Medemblik, in the Streekarchief voor Westfriesland in Hoorn (GAM). As to the mediation: RSH as noted by Stellingwerff III, passim. Geyl did not know the existence of these minutes.
