Translation / modern text

[P. 2] My Dear Mr. Mayor. A case concerning my castle servant Semian has been brought before your court by the municipal office of Kamianets, and I ask you, my dear sir, having examined the merits of this case as the law requires, to treat him kindly and rather than sentencing him to a fine, to first consider the state of affairs as the law dictates, and support his side. In doing so, I commend myself to your grace. In Kamianets, June 10, 1635. Well-wishing you all the best [...] Mikołaj Potocki of Potok, General of Podolia, by his own hand. [P. 3] [P. 4] [Address:] To My Dear Sir and Friend, His Grace the Mayor of His Royal Majesty's City of Lviv, to be delivered.

Reading notes

Page 1 is an inventory card. The author is Mikołaj Potocki of Potok (known as 'Bear Paw'), at that time General of the Podolian lands (later Grand Crown Hetman and Castellan of Kraków – the title of Castellan of Kraków given in the inventory is a later dignity of Potocki; in 1635 he signed as General of Podolia). The servant is called 'Semian' in the letter (in the inventory: 'Semen'). The lower part of the page has paper loss; a wafer seal is preserved on p. 4.
