Letter to an unidentified Most Illustrious Benefactor

The sender addresses the recipient as a Most Illustrious Benefactor. The text mentions staying at home, the post, and Lwów, but the matter itself cannot be reconstructed with confidence. The date notation in the upper right contains an uncertain place name and “8bris 1697”; the day is 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 writes to a Most Illustrious Benefactor. He mentions his whereabouts, the post, and Lwów; the rest is too illegible to establish the subject safely. The date notation “8bris 1697” does not give a legible day, so the exact date remains unknown.

Reading notes

The date notation on p. 2 allows only an uncertain place name, “8bris”, and the year 1697 to be read; the day is illegible. The signature on p. 3 may read “Krzysztof Hlebicki”, but this is uncertain. PDF p. 1 is an inventory card, not a letter: it gives signature 132/1/495, a beginning in 1697, an end in 1698, and 8 sheets; its Ukrainian description of the correspondence is partly illegible.
