Most Illustrious Lord Castellan of Kraków,
My Great Lord and my Beloved Brother!
I surmise that it has come to the knowledge of Your Grace, my Lord, that the time is approaching when we, the brothers, wish to carry out the intended division of the estate. Since I am not certain how long God will allow us to enjoy the presence of Your Grace, my Lord, in these parts, and not knowing when Your Grace, my Lord, might wish to depart from Lwów, I anticipate Your Grace, my Lord, with my own and my brother's,
[P. 3]
His Grace the Crown Standard-Bearer's, humble request that you might deign to grant us this favor and, by that time, grant leave to His Grace Mr. Olszyński, your courtier, who is much needed by us for the division. For, having managed the treasury of our father and benefactor of blessed memory for a considerable time, he could provide us with some explanation as to which of the creditors – whether regarding principal claims or interest, and in what amount – he has satisfied,
[P. 4]
which we are in no way able to ascertain. I trust that Your Grace, my Lord, will grant us this favor, which we earnestly request, out of the kindness you bear toward us, and I, in my own name and in my brother's, sign off with due gratitude forever.
April 12 in Podkamień, in the evening, 1703.
Of Your Grace, my Benefactor
kindly well-wishing brother
and humble servant
Jabłonowski, Voivode of Ruthenia

Page 1 is an inventory card. The letter covers pages 2–4. The inventory mistakenly states that the letter was addressed 'to a brother, the Castellan of Kraków' with a request to come to Lwów for the division of the estate. In reality, Jan Stanisław Jabłonowski (Voivode of Ruthenia) addresses the Castellan of Kraków (in 1703, this office was held by Hieronim Augustyn Lubomirski), using the traditional senatorial address 'Lord Brother', with a request to grant leave ('licentiate') to his courtier Olszyński, who managed the treasury of the late Hetman Stanisław Jan Jabłonowski (the sender's father) and is essential for clarifying creditor matters during the upcoming division of the estate between Jan Stanisław and his own brother, Aleksander Jan, the Grand Crown Standard-Bearer.
