Translation / modern text

A partly legible letter from Lemberg, dated 18 July 1690, to Arthur Forbes in Lviv. It concerns accounts and mentions Johann Taylor and the figure 700, but the currency and context of that amount cannot be established reliably. The signature remains illegible.

Reading notes

Page 4 begins a new letter with a distinct dateline; p. 5 is a separate address sheet to Forbes in Lviv. It is not joined to the 12 July letter because the dates and addresses differ.
