[Nagłówek, odczyt niepewny:] Jaśnie Oświecony Magistracie [—] Obywatele. Łaskawie [—] ruderę na Gmińskiej ulicy [—]. [Wzmianka o kupnie i wypłaceniu określonej kwoty; dalszy tekst częściowo czytelny:] [—] ażebym do kupna tych był [—], wypłacić gotowem taką kwotę, jako [—] determinowane.

Reading notes

A rereading of page 2 indicates that the subject is a derelict building on a street (probably Gmińska) and its purchase and payment, rather than a general matter concerning citizens. The word «Obywatele» (citizens) is visible in the salutation, but the addressee and form of address remain uncertain. The closing gives Łańcut and probably the year 1766; the day and month are too illegible to enter in the date field. The signature may read J. Dzieduszycki, but the identification is uncertain.

Scope of the edition: Working, partial transcription and paraphrase. The street name, year, and signature are uncertain; gaps are marked [—].
