Intervention to release a craftsman from the carpenters’ guild

He wants the carpenters’ guild to release Konrad from its requirements and stop obstructing his work. The letter is dated 28 December 1737, probably in Łańcut. The craftsman’s full name and the sender’s signature need checking.

Reading notes

The date 28 Xbris 1737 (28 December 1737) is read from the date notation on the letter, PDF p. 2. The place in the same line appears to read “Łańcucie”, but this reading is probable. The inventory card on PDF p. 1 records the unit start date as 8 December 1737 and one sheet; the end-date field is blank. The cover date is noted as catalog information, not as the letter date. Page 1 is not an address leaf; the scan contains no separate outer cover or address.
