Original wording — transcription

[Zwrot adresatywny:] Moie Wielce Mci Panie Forbes, Mci Panie y Przyjacielu. […] [wzmianki o sumach i rozliczeniu; odczytane fragmenty nie pozwalają ustalić kwot ani szczegółów]. […] [Zakończenie:] WMM Pana […] [podpis niepewny].

Reading notes

Page 2 contains one letter to Arthur Forbes; its wrapper on p. 3 identifies him as a merchant in Lemberg. The letter opens “Moie Wielce Mci Panie Forbes, Mci Panie y Przyjacielu”. The text contains references to sums/accounting, but the amounts and substance cannot be read with confidence. The inventory card gives a date range for the archival unit; that range is not assigned to this letter.

Scope of the edition: Working partial transcription; gaps and uncertain readings are marked. No date is entered from the inventory card because the letter text has no reliably legible dateline.
