Wojciech Muldorfus to Wojciech Zimnicki regarding legacies and the guardianship of a student

[P. 2] Most Honorable Brother-in-law! That I should [...] otherwise, I do not understand, for no proxy may exceed the limits of their power of attorney: although I left Lviv late, yet [...] I was at home, having spent the night in Dąbrowica, in order to fulfill the commission; that is how it goes. The taken [...] decree [...] was of little use to me, for I was able to state it orally as well. His Lordship expects something better in writing with hope. Meanwhile, therefore, I ask that you, Your Lordship, endeavor to ensure that the execution of the legacies may take place as soon as possible. Regarding those Zamość funds located in Jaśnyszcze, I highly doubt that anyone has received the bequests that were transferred to whom; I know this well and understood that it would be so. If one were to expect something from there, and especially on the spot, the lady after the late priest should diligently [...] above all keep a watchful eye, as well as on my work and efforts, which I rendered both before and after the death of the late priest to the great detriment of my health, surely some legatees would not be very pleased with the refined legacies, and God knows if not all of them. I understand that Your Lordship will take this into consideration, looking at the fact that I am doing it for myself as much as I could, but I am satisfying justice, leaving this to the further proceedings of the executors. I dared to ask His Lordship about those remainders mentioned in the instruction. I am not looking at, or rather I am not asking for, what is in my house and in my hands, the remainder [...]. I see for myself that it is and will be so. Regarding that foundation of the mansionaries, I ask you urgently, send it to me as soon as possible, so that they do not cause me all the trouble, of which I have plenty because of good people who recommend me to His Lordship through intercession [...]. I am writing no more now, I am putting it off until a moment of respite from the turmoil. I have handed over that student to the rector, then to the dean, and finally to the bachelor of poetics, where he is directed until Whitsuntide, for the renewal of studies falls on Whitsuntide, and with it the promotion; if he proves worthy, they will send him to rhetoric. As soon as I learn from the preceptor after the promotion what books he will need, I will buy them and find him a guardian; let the parents not worry, nothing will be lacking in my kindness towards him. I ask you to write as soon as possible if there is anything new since my departure, and let me know about Constantinople as soon as possible. We, having celebrated the jubilee yesterday [...], it will last for two weeks. His Lordship is hearing the confession of Juras on Wednesday, by God, not knowing what to do in this matter. Her Ladyship herself ordered it so, and I am as obedient as Their Lordships the Senators. Lady Zimnicka herself [...] and my Hanka send their greetings. I commend myself meanwhile to Your Lordship's usual grace. From Zamość, May 27, 1621. Your Lordship's heartily well-wishing friend and servant, Wojciech Muldorfus, by his own hand. [P. 3, address:] To the Most Distinguished Lord Wojciech Zimnicki, Secretary of the City of Lviv, my most honorable, to his own hands, in Lviv.
