Pope Gregory XIII notifies the people of the city and diocese of Lviv of the appointment of Jan Dymitr Solikowski to the office of archbishop following the death of his predecessor, Jan. He commands the faithful to receive their new shepherd with due reverence and to be obedient to his pastoral authority.

Pope Gregory XIII authorizes the Archbishop-elect of Lviv, Jan Dymitr Solikowski, to receive episcopal consecration from any Catholic bishop in communion with the Apostolic See. The condition for receiving the sacrament is the prior taking of the oath of fidelity cited in the text, a certified copy of which the elect must send to Rome under penalty of suspension.

Father Just Słowikowski thanks the authorities of Lwów for their care of the daughter and family of his late brother Ludwik and asks for their continued kindness. He declares his readiness to reciprocate the city's help and announces that Mr. Harder will represent him in this matter.

Assessor J. F. Stetkiewicz responds to a summons from the Lviv magistrate concerning the settlement of old arrears, recalling a previous royal decree and the fact that he ceased commercial activities upon taking office in 1744. He points to the losses he has suffered and the ongoing lawsuit regarding his seized property, appealing to the city authorities for understanding and to refrain from causing him further distress.
