Translation / modern text

[P. 2] Most Illustrious and Magnificent Lord Voivode of Volhynia, My most Gracious Lord and Kind Brother. I received the letter of Your Grace, my Gracious Lord, at the sejmik and listened throughout the entire time to see if anyone would raise this matter, in which I would certainly have considered it a fortune to publicly declare my unwavering affection towards Your Grace, my Lord. Even God knows that towards the end of the sejmik it did not come to my mind, and it was, after the departure of their Graces [P. 3] the Gentlemen Colleagues, difficult, as it usually is – restless until the end. Although the local distance [...] did not allow me to cultivate my affection towards Your Grace, my Lord, it remains unchanged. If God wills, at the future commission, the matter of Your Grace, my Lord, could be accommodated, only a letter to the entire commission will be needed. And now I remain In Środa, 22 April 1697 Your Grace, my Gracious Lord's sincerely kind brother and servant, Władysław Przyjemski, Voivode of Kalisz [autograph]
