Reading notes

Pages 51–53 form a letter; p. 54 is its address leaf. The palatine's title and Leopold/Lviv can be read on p. 54, but the territorial designation is uncertain. Page 55 has its own French heading and begins the next letter, so it is not part of record 681-013. The attribution to Anna Katarzyna Leszczyńska-Jabłonowska and Jan Jabłonowski comes from the collection inventory, not a certain signature on this letter.

Scope of the edition: Partial working transcription; many gaps, uncertain date and addressee.
