Letter to the Most Illustrious Lord Voivode of the Ruthenian lands

The letter is dated at Castle [Druż?] on 24 October 1697. The recipient is styled Voivode of the Ruthenian lands; a separate leaf on p. 5 carries an address including the title General. The text continues on pages internally numbered 2–5; its detailed subject remains partly illegible.

AI-assisted edition. Working, partial transcription and translation. Gaps are marked [—], and uncertain readings with a question mark. Readings must be checked against the original.

Translation / modern text

The sender addresses the Voivode of the Ruthenian lands. He mentions being away from home, correspondence, and travel, but the details cannot be established with confidence. The letter is dated 24 October 1697 at a castle whose name is uncertain. The notation on p. 5 is an address on the outer sheet, not further letter text.

Reading notes

PDF pp. 6–9 bear consecutive internal page numbers 2–5, supporting their continuity with the opening on p. 4; p. 5 is treated as an address leaf/cover, not letter text. The date is read from the notation on p. 4. The castle name and signature need verification.
