Made mortgage payment (fifth of eight) on the Gulden Hoofd
Date:
May 11, 1660
Leeuwenhoek went to the Weeskamer, where he paid 100 guilders interest on this mortgage (half in goods), 260 guilders remaining. He also paid 700 guilders to reduce the capital, which mean that he had paid 3,700 guilders total and had 1,300 guilders still to pay.
