Reading notes

Leaf 5 was identified as a letter with a date and place. Leaf 6 is addressed to the Lviv magistrate, and leaf 7 contains a short note «To the Noble Magistrate of Lviv ...»; both were treated as elements of the wrapper/circulation of this letter, not as additional letters. Leaf 4 is a separate address leaf accompanying the text on leaf 3. The unit cover gives the span 1766–1767 and six sheets. The signature was reread as Dzieduszycki; the initial appears to be J.
