Letter to a superior concerning accounts and income of the colleges

The author addresses a “Reverende in Christo Pater” and discusses a statement of sums and income due to religious institutions. Several houses are named, along with amounts in Polish florins, including 3,000 and 6,500; the text considers the difference between nominal sums and revenue received. The damaged continuation concerns accounting/transfers and matters involving Przemyśl and other houses. The date line on p. 3 gives Przemyśl, 20 June 1760; the given name Cyprian is legible, but the surname is uncertain.

AI-assisted edition. Working partial transcription and translation; the letter is damaged in places, and many words and figures remain illegible. The signer’s surname is uncertain. Readings must be checked against the original.

Translation / modern text

This is one Latin letter with Polish insertions, addressed to a religious superior. The sender discusses a statement of sums and income for several houses, gives amounts in Polish florins (including legible figures of 3,000 and 6,500), and compares nominal sums with income. Damage and difficult handwriting prevent a reliable reconstruction of some entries and the rest of the argument. The date line gives Przemyśl, 20 June 1760. The signature includes the given name Cyprian; the surname is uncertain.

Reading notes

P. 1 is an inventory card, not evidence for the date or letter text. P. 2 and the textual portion of p. 3 belong to one letter; the lower part of p. 3 is the folded cover/address, not another letter. Date and place are read from the letter’s own date line: “Przemyśl, d. 20 Junii 1760”. Institutions and amounts are visible, but the full statement has not been reconstructed.
