Invitation for councilors to a meeting tomorrow at 2:00 PM: future burdens on townhouses sold to Jews by the Jesuits, recovery of files after Łaskowski, and a contested contract regarding the shoemakers' guild chapel.

Denhoff writes to the addressees in Lviv concerning the case between the Bracław voivode and Mr Łaskowski, heard before an arbitration court. He asks them not to obstruct enforcement of the decree and to ensure that the voivode receives the satisfaction due to him. The letter is dated Warsaw, 20 August 1699.

Lieutenant M. Medzycki informs Voivode Jan Stanisław Jabłonowski about a planned meeting with the Castellan of Przemyśl and the difficulties with quartering soldiers in Odyńce and Wola. He also reports the recruitment of two new soldiers to the infantry regiment and the payment of their wages.

Abbess Eleonora Potocka asks the President of Lwów, Karol Szmeling, to protect Stefan Laskowski from the legal claims of the Liw cup-bearer, Rosnowski, regarding a tenement house purchased from the convent. She emphasizes that Laskowski acquired the property fully legally and paid all dues, and therefore should not be subject to any judgments.

Crown Deputy Chancellor Karol Tarło calls upon the authorities of Lviv to immediately execute the verdict of an arbitration court in a dispute between the Voivode of Bracław and the Lviv burgher Laskowski. He emphasizes that the ruling was reached with the consent of both parties and that further delay in its execution undermines justice and the reputation of the magistrate.

Grand Chancellor of the Crown Jan Szembek recommends to the authorities of Lwów the candidacy of the burgher Laskowski for the vacant office of assessor. He notes that entrusting him with this position may contribute to ending a long-standing lawsuit pending before the royal courts.
