Translation / modern text

[P. 2] Lviv, 28 Most Illustrious and Gracious Lady, Beloved Soul! Anticipating the post, I kiss the feet of Your Grace, my Gracious Lady, on the occasion of sending a special messenger, the General. And since [...] it happens constantly for Your Grace to bear witness that I am a longing, always loving servant of Your Grace, my Gracious Lady, I write briefly. For there is nothing new in public affairs. I must therefore return to my old words and the truth that I am hopelessly devoted to Your Grace, my Gracious Lady. To be presented, to agree, nothing [...] Kazieńka bows to Your Grace, my Gracious Lady. Most kind brother, Jabłonowski, Voivode of Ruthenia [autograph] [P. 3] Not content with the fact that my husband has bowed to Your Grace on my behalf, I myself wish to humble myself most diligently with my own hand, that among many people who are glad to serve Your Grace, there is no one who would be more sincere than I am to Your Grace, my beloved Benefactress. Most humble sister and servant, Jabłonowska, Voivodess of Ruthenia [autograph]

Reading notes

Private letter consisting of two parts: on p. 2 a letter from Jan Stanisław Jabłonowski, Voivode of Ruthenia (signed "Jabłonowski WR"), with the day and place "Lviv 28" (year 1703 known from the archival description on p. 1); on p. 3 a postscript by his wife Joanna née Denhoff Jabłonowska ("Jabłonowska WR[odzina]"). The recipient is the Voivode's own sister (most likely Anna Leszczyńska née Jabłonowska, mother of Stanisław Leszczyński). On p. 2, "Kazienka" is mentioned (likely their daughter Katarzyna Jabłonowska) as well as the mission of the "General". The phrase "d enamorat z obuchem" is a playful reference to being enamored/devoted to his sister.
