[P. 2]
In Rydzyna, December 13, 1696
My Great Gracious, Beloved Brother!
I keep in good memory Mr. Skowroński's ca[...], what You, My Lord, have calculated, and that furniture maker, who wanted and declared what they have to satisfy. I will not pay attention to Nowe Siedlisko and the set deadline of a month, but for the service of You, My Lord, I will come myself, for without effort the wolf does not grow fat. For showing good kindness towards me, your servant, I thank you, may God grant me to deserve it. This servant is going with property when the grandfathers spoil him. And I too will greet you after the holidays. Having sincerely deserved brotherly kindness myself, [I commend myself] to the graces
of You, My Lord and Brother
servant
Krzysztof Wieniawski
To the Most Illustrious Lady and Benefactress, my low bow.
I offer the same to His Grace the Starosta, Her Grace Lady B[...], and Their Graces the ladies. Especially to my own beloved [...] I bow, and I often look upwards and raise glasses to the health of His Grace and Their Graces.
[P. 3, Address:]
To my Great Gracious Lord and beloved Brother, His Grace Mr. Franciszek Zawadzki, servant of the Most Illustrious His Grace the Voivode of Volhynia, You, My Lord.

On p. 3, a wax seal is preserved (likely with the Wieniawa coat of arms). The writing contains numerous phonetic/dialectal features ('kochani bracie', 'na dobri pamięci', 'beszposlednie', 'typie', 'na gybie'). The ends of some lines on p. 2 are slightly rubbed or cut off at the edge.
