Reading notes

The date and place are read from the letter itself on PDF p. 2: “z Warszawy d. 13 Febr. 1763”. The text more clearly indicates a declaration concerning the Lviv parish benefice, Father Łozowski, the death of the dean, and a suffragan intended for the deanery. Part of the dean’s name and the sequence of appointments remain illegible. The signature most likely reads “M. Rzewuski”; the following title or office is uncertain. The archival card describes the item as correspondence of the Lviv magistrate, but the letter’s heading does not name an individual recipient.
