Translation / modern text
The letter from Warsaw reports to the Lviv magistracy on current public affairs of the Commonwealth and actions being taken in the capital. The inventory card describes the writer as Lviv’s delegate to the Sejm; the precise subject remains partly illegible. The dateline gives Warsaw, 12 August 1661. The signature may read “Samuel Kusiewicz”, but the surname is uncertain.

Reading notes
Page 1 is an inventory card, not a separate document. Pages 2–4 are one three-page letter; the manuscript pagination gives the order 1 (PDF p. 2), 2 (PDF p. 4), 3 (PDF p. 3). Page 5 is the outer address side with a seal, not a separate letter. The date and place are read from the closing dateline on manuscript p. 3: Warsaw, 12 August 1661. The inventory card associates the writer with Lviv’s Sejm delegation; the surname in the signature remains uncertain.
