Reading notes

The recipient is identified based on the title ("Most Illustrious Lord Voivode of Ruthenia") and the inventory as Jan Stanisław Jabłonowski, Voivode of Ruthenia in 1697–1731. In the inventory, the date was misread as "ITO0" (in reality 1700). At the bottom of the page, there is a note with regards for the Voivodess of Ruthenia and a postscript with Latin phrases.
