Reading notes
All four pages were inspected. One letter: p. 3 contains its ending and p. 4 an address fragment, not a second letter. Earlier matches were only in catalogues. Untidy handwriting and unusual spelling impede a continuous reading: the meaning of illegible sentences is not presented as certain. The year 1694 comes solely from the cover. Głogowski is read in the salutation; the address fragment Sta[...] has not been expanded into a definite first name. The writer’s being a woman is supported by the formula “sister”, the reference to her husband and the cover; the surname’s spelling in the signature remains uncertain. “Brother” and “sister” have not been treated as proof of biological kinship. Lublin is legible, but a fragment possibly containing the word “fire” is insufficient to confirm an event. The translation covers only the passages read, not the full meaning of the letter.
