Original letter to a most illustrious lord, probably a voivode

A handwritten letter in Polish with a formal address to a most illustrious lord and benefactor. The text is faded and partly abraded, so its subject cannot be established with confidence. The inventory card labels the document an original and mentions Stanisław; it is not a separate text or translation. An incomplete notation “12 VI” appears near the end of the letter, without a year.

AI-assisted edition. Working partial transcription and description; the contents, people, and context of the “12 VI” notation require further reading. Readings must be checked against the original.

Translation / modern text

The surviving manuscript is an original letter in Polish. Its formal salutation is partly legible, but fading and abrasion prevent a reliable identification of its subject, sender, or recipient. The incomplete notation “12 VI” has no year. The inventory card labels the document an original; no separate later translation is present.

Reading notes

Page 1 is an inventory card; its “begun: 21 June 1701” entry is an archival recording and cannot safely be used as the letter’s date, so date remains null. The card labels the document “Oryginał” and contains a partly legible reference to Stanisław and the Ruthenian hetman. Pages 2–3 contain one Polish manuscript, with no separate translation or wrapper among the scans. Near the end of page 3, “12 VI” is visible, but no year or clear function can be assigned to it. The transcription marks gaps and uncertain readings.
