Letter from Sword-bearer Lanckoroński to Jan Jabłonowski regarding the embassy to the King of Sweden

[P. 2] Most Illustrious and Noble Lord Voivode of the Ruthenian Lands, My Greatly Noble Lord and Benefactor! I consider it a proof of Your Grace's favor towards me that you command me to carry out your orders. It has been done, and I, appointed by the will of the brethren to that place, shall be able to meet the challenge, even if I had to do it on a wooden leg. Our brethren do not like the Swedish war at all. They have prepared an article to send envoys the next day – regardless of whether a marshal is elected or not: one from the Senate and one from the knightly estate of each province to His Royal Majesty the King of Sweden with a demand that he withdraw from Courland. This instruction is to be signed by the Cardinal Primate as primate, the Most Illustrious [Castellan/Voivode] of Kraków as the first secular senator, the ministers of state, and the marshal of the chamber – the old one or one of new favor [...]. Time does not allow me to write more. [deletion] Unchanging in Your Grace's favor, I am urgently... His Grace the Castellan of Vilnius commends himself and remains [?]. On Monday [deletion] of the Lanckoroński starosta office [...] Sandomierski [...] Joanna has died. November 13, 1701 Your Most Illustrious Grace's, My Gracious Lord and Benefactor's, well-wishing brother and humble servant, Lanckoroński, Sword-bearer [of the Crown?] L. 7. [P. 3, address:] To the Most Illustrious, My Greatly Noble Lord and Brother, His Grace the Lord Voivode of the Ruthenian Lands, Your Grace, My Lord. To be delivered to the Lviv post.
