Pius, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God, to Our beloved sons [...] Master [...] Valle, Referendary of both Our Signatures, and Antoniewicz, Canon of the Metropolitan Church of Lviv and Vicar General in spiritual matters of Our venerable brother the Archbishop of Lviv, greetings and apostolic blessing. Today, to Our beloved son Karol Mosing, Provost of the Metropolitan Church of Lviv, Our supernumerary Privy Chamberlain, provided with a letter [...] [of the Order?] of St. John of Jerusalem, of the Latin Rite church, that dignity – [following] immediately after the higher pontifical [dignity], vacant at that time in a certain expressed manner and previously reserved for apostolic disposition – together with all its rights and appurtenances, We have granted by apostolic authority and provided him with it, as is more fully contained in Our letter drawn up for this purpose. Therefore, We command your prudence through apostolic letters that you, or two, or one of you, once and after the said letter is presented to you, personally or through another or others, [induct] the same Karol – after having previously received from him in Our name and in the name of the Roman Church the usual oath of due fidelity according to the formula which We send enclosed under Our bull – or his proxy in his name, into the corporal possession of the aforementioned provostry and all its rights and appurtenances by Our authority [...] and defend him once inducted, having removed any unlawful holder therefrom, causing Karol or his proxy in his name to be inducted into the said provostry according to custom and that all its fruits, rents, revenues, rights, emoluments, and all profits be answered to him in full, restraining those who resist by Our authority without the possibility of appeal, regardless of any [obstacles] which We have reserved in the said letter as not to stand in the way. [...] To Our Archbishop of Lviv and Our beloved sons the Chapter of the said Metropolitan Church, or any of them, or anyone else under the penalties of suspension and interdict of passing sentences or that they could not be subject to excommunication by apostolic letters not mentioning fully, expressly, and word for word that indult. Given in Rome at Saint Peter's, in the Year of the Lord's Incarnation one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, on the ninth day before the Kalends of June [May 24, 1873], in the twenty-seventh year of Our pontificate.
