Reading notes
PDF p. 11 contains the letter dated “16 Januarii 1767”; p. 12 is its external address, not a separate document. The reading indicates thanks for goodwill and good wishes, and does not support describing the matter as a recursus. The inventory card on p. 1 gives the date range for the archival unit as 1 March 1756–5 June 1767; this is inventory information, not the letter date.
