Reading notes
The date 17 Februarii Anno 1647 and place Lemberg were read at the end of the text; the sender’s surname is uncertain. P. 6 contains the address on the folded letter sheet, and p. 7 is the blank verso of the same sheet, not a copy or separate letter. No enclosure was identified. Much of the content and the sums are illegible, so the translation covers only the discernible sense.
