Notes
Text carved into the bamboo, partly whitewashed — bamboo — A letter written by a certain Mandiam to a, presumably Dutch, officer via his secretary
(Juru Tulis). The letter is written in Toba Batak language and script, except for
the last sentences which are in Toba Batak script but in Malay language. The writer
announces that a certain Si Humintar has escaped. He asks the officer to do his best
to find the fugitive. Towards the end of the letter follows the request in Malay language
that the officer may send him gunpowder and bullets, because his stock is already
exhausted, whereas his enemy has already taken Siunong-unong. A transliteration of
the text in Roman script and on paper together with a Malay language translation is
attached. Cf. VOHD XXVIII, 206
