[P. 2] Most Noble and Gracious Mr. Forbes, My Gracious Lord and Friend! Learning of the good health of Your Grace, my Lord, I wish you glorious holidays, that is, the Nativity of the Savior of the world, wishing that this Savior may grant Your Grace, my Lord, to live to see many such commemorations, and having finished this old year, may God grant you a happy start to the New Year in good health, the Lord's blessing, and with prosperous successes, and many similar ones. This I sincerely wish Your Grace, my Lord, and at the same time, I thank Your Grace, my Lord, greatly for the favor shown to me, for I have already settled here according to my obligation. I shall be ready, together with my entire household, to serve and reciprocate this to Your Grace, my benefactor, and now, submitting myself to the grace of Your Grace, my Lord, and commending myself, I remain Your Grace's, my Lord's kind friend and servant, Anna Marianna Forbes In Zamość, 1691 [year?], on the 24th of December. PS My husband bows low to Your Grace, my Lord. [P. 3, address:] For Mr. Arthur Forbes, Merchant in Lwów
