Translation / modern text
The letter is addressed to the Lviv councillors. The surviving fragments mention a road and the Vistula, as well as the city’s rights, but the substance of the request cannot be reconstructed with confidence. The attribution to Stanisław Tomaszewski comes from the inventory card and is not confirmed by the uncertain signature. The dateline in the letter gives Brody, 28 December 1620.

Reading notes
Page 1 is an inventory card; its description attributes the letter to Stanisław Tomaszewski and identifies the recipient as the Lviv magistracy. I read the date 28 December 1620 and place Brody from the dateline on p. 2, not from the date written on the inventory card. Page 2 contains the letter; p. 3 is its folded sheet with address and seal, not a separate document. The transcription includes visible words and marks gaps with bracketed ellipses.
