132/1/529529-0011690-02-01Letter from Erzerum concerning service, a recommendation, and a journey to Persia

The author assures the addressee, whom he calls his patron and friend, of his attachment and readiness to serve his interests, and mentions a letter to the addressee’s father. He refers to “Baron Baschia” and an imminent departure for the Persian court (“partir dans quelques jours pour la Cour de Perse”); he also discusses a letter of recommendation and a cleric, though some context is unclear. The date line on p. 4 appears to read Erzerum?, 1 February 1690. The signature gives “Comte Philippe de…”, with the surname uncertain.

Count Philippe de [surname uncertain/illegible] (French signature)
To: An unidentified Polish dignitary; the letter is headed “Monseigneur”. The cover is addressed to His Highness the Palatine/Voivode of Kraków (surname illegible).
