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 recorded amounts are 17 × 23 = 391 and 36 × 19 = 684; the underlined total is 1075 (the currency is abbreviated and the reading is uncertain). The goods’ names cannot be read confidently enough to identify them.

The date line on p. 3 gives Przemyśl, 20 June 1760; the given name Cyprian is legible, but the surname is uncertain.

In a second matter, he says he has no involvement with the other “Zdziełka,” does not know who holds its contract, and has no receipts relating to it. Some words and the relation between the matters remain uncertain.

The sender addresses Hayder as a friend and discusses a monetary dispute or settlement.
