[P. 2] Most Noble Mr. Głogowski, My Most Noble Sir and Brother! That [...] you disdain my letters, Your Grace [...] is obliged, yet in this transaction between Your Grace and Your Grace I see nothing stable or substantial. I call upon the Lord God and my conscience as witness that in such a dispute my office allows me neither to assist nor to hinder, as I have received orders from all sides to look after the good of His Royal Majesty the Lord and have been assigned to watch over security; from Janów and from Okopy come certain warnings of an unexpected horde [...] [P. 3] And since I cannot leave my service even for an hour, I therefore greatly request that justice prevails in my true justification. I thank you for the gracious friendly letter, asking for further favor, with which I devotedly commend myself.

[P. 4, address:] To the Most Noble Sir, My Noble Sir and Brother, His Noble Sir Franciszek Głogowski of Głogowiec, to be delivered. To Your Grace, My Noble Sir, it is necessary [...]
