A long letter to a recipient styled as a Count. The sender reports on matters and correspondence, names several people, and returns to issues requiring a decision or further action. Dense handwriting and show-through make the details difficult to read; the full subject and names cannot be established reliably. Near the end, the place is probably Warsaw and the date is 11 October, with no legible year. Page 1 is an archival cover; p. 5 contains the fold and address of the same letter.

The letter to Jan Rudawski reports a matter involving a person or persons tentatively read as “P. Hajdurom Kayer(?)” and a matter associated with “Szlachetnym Łomżyckim” (further wording uncertain). It also mentions Lwów, its municipal consuls, and actions or requests directed to the recipient. Illegible passages prevent a reliable reconstruction of the details or the connection between these matters. The dateline gives 19 February 1631.

The writer addresses Mr Hajder about a matter in which he asks for the issuing of a “mandate or …” (the following word is uncertain). The text repeatedly mentions Mr Hajder, a brewery in a tenement, and proceedings or a decision in a municipal matter. The handwriting and gaps do not allow the course of the matter or all parties to be established. The dateline gives 28 November 1646.

Two written pages of a letter survive, probably addressed to a person surnamed Hander (uncertain reading). The handwriting is difficult to read and partly damaged; mainly forms of address are legible. The closing date is incomplete or illegible, so neither date nor place is assigned. The date range on the inventory card is not treated as a date read from the letter.

The Lviv City Council grants its colleague, councilor Andrzej Wachlowicz, a devastated apiary in the municipal village of Zubrza for fifteen years, along with the right to redeem mortgaged peasant lands. The document exempts the recipient from fees for six years in exchange for restoring the farm, ordering the payment of an annual rent of six zlotys thereafter.

Father Jan Pigłowski expresses his joy at the good news regarding the health of Maciej Hajder, which he received during a meeting with the prior of the Lviv Carmelites at the residence of the Archbishop of Gniezno. He assures the recipient of his constant prayers, asks for God's blessing for him, and commends himself to his continued kindness.

Ludwik Fantucci expresses his joy at Maciej Hayder's recovery from illness and sends him satin as a gift in gratitude for his hospitality in Lviv. He also informs him that no further steps are needed in their joint matter due to a statement from Mr. Zamoyski, and inquires about the progress regarding Mr. Sadomski.

Jakub Chronowski apologizes to Maciej Hajder for his absence at a family celebration, explaining the late arrival of the invitation and his wife's illness, who miscarried after a journey. He expresses regret for the delay, sends late gifts, and offers best wishes to the newlyweds.

Zofia Sterlingowa asks Lviv councilor Maciej Hajder to look after her late husband's market stall left in Lviv, collect debts, and purchase food. She also declares her help in searching for the addressee's lost watch.
