Toruń, November 28
My Dear Sir,
Had your order reached me one day earlier, I would have endeavored to serve you as best as I could. But since the presentations [presentations?] have already been submitted, I shall offer my services to you at another time, as I am your well-wishing servant.

Reading notes
The year (1698) was established based on the inventory and historical context (pacification sejm in Toruń in the autumn of 1698). The inventory incorrectly lists the day as '8 листопада' instead of '28. Novembre'. The word read as 'prezenci' likely refers to 'prezenty' (presentations for an office or benefice).
