Intercession of Wojciech Świrski with the Mayor of Lwów in defense of a poor swordsmith

[P. 2] My most gracious Mr. Mayor, I commend my services to Your Grace's favor. Since there, in my manor, which is located on city land, lives a swordsmith who does not belong to the guild, who due to his poverty has no means to pay the entry fee, and for this reason the guild members harassing him there want to take him away – therefore I ask Your Grace that Your Grace admonish them to leave him in peace, so that later no harm befalls anyone, for I pay the rent for the manor from the land – such is the duty – to the one on whose land my manor stands. I therefore ask Your Grace once again that this harassment on the part of the guild masters does not take place; I shall be obliged to repay this favor of Your Grace. With this, I offer my services to Your Grace's favor [...]. In Świrz, November 16, 1626. Your Grace's well-wishing friend of all good [...] Wojciech Świrski of Romanów, by my own hand. [P. 3, address:] To his Lordship, my most gracious master and friend, Mr. Jan Ubernicz, Mayor and Councilor of Lwów in [...], or to whoever is the Mayor at this time.
