Translation / modern text

[Heading:] Most illustrious and [gracious?] lord voivode, my most gracious lord and benefactor. The sender humbly addresses the addressee and describes a matter involving several people. The sender mentions Domaradzki and a person whose surname cannot be read with confidence. Because many passages are illegible, the course of the matter and the precise wording of the request cannot be safely reconstructed. In Lviv, 30 January 1699. [Signature illegible.]

Reading notes

All six scans were examined. The cover (PDF p. 1) gives the start date as 30 January 1699 and notes three sheets; the letter text is on PDF pp. 2–3, with original numbering 1–2 visible. PDF pp. 4–6 contain the address sheet/fold and notes, not a separate letter. The address sheet appears to address Jan Jabłonowski, voivode and general of the Ruthenian lands, but the surname reading is uncertain. The handwriting on the letter sheets is faded and difficult to read in places; the names, details of the matter, and sender’s signature are uncertain.
