X. Marek mp. Anna Wróblewska, stolnikowa

Father Marek explains to the stolnikowa Anna Wróblewska the reasons for the delay in his arrival due to being detained by the definitorium and his monastic duties. He assures the recipient that he is celebrating masses for the prosperity of her estates, the recovery of debts, and the protection of her livestock from the plague.

Translation / modern text

[P. 2] Most Noble Sirs, my Benefactors. I would gladly fly to you like a bird, but the Most Noble [Perhaps?] Rawa Guardians from Lutsk from our definitorium have detained me, and the provincial has also consented to this, and they do not want to let me go from here because of their various interests, perhaps not until August. And [...] I know then, something is whispered, that I will have to visit Lubartów as well. Do not fear the times that you, Most Noble Lady [are waiting for?], for I shall celebrate the aforementioned mass for this purpose, God's blessing, which I renew and promise to renew with every Holy Mass. I wish health and life to the Most Noble Lady, my Benefactress. [P. 3] I bless the Most Noble Sir, my Benefactor, his interests and estates. And against the cattle plague, to ward it off, I shall intercede with Holy Masses tomorrow and always. I bless all livestock, properties, trades, purchases, and sales for their prosperity. And may our God Jesus Christ Himself facilitate the sums that are uncertain and difficult to recover, for which I shall also pray. As your true servant before God, and a devotee before men. Fr. Marek, with my own hand. Given on July 19, 1779, in Boremel. [P. 4, address:] To the Most Noble Lady Anna Wróblewska, stolnikowa, Lady and Benefactress in Czarniawka.

Reading notes

Discrepancies with the inventory: the author is a monk, Fr. Marek (signed 'X. Marek mp.', mentions the definitorium in Lutsk and the provincial), not an anonymous priest with an illegible surname; the recipient's location on the address label is Czarniawka (incorrectly listed in the inventory as: Czerniowce / Чернявці); the content of the letter concerns the promise of celebrating masses for economic prosperity, the recovery of difficult sums, and stopping the cattle plague ('cattle air'), not thanks for caring for the church. Page 5 is a provenance card attached to the document from June 1, 1921, certifying the donation of the letter to the museum in Lviv by the recipient's great-great-grandson, the Lieutenancy Councilor Bronisław Wróblewski (hence the information about the recipient's maiden name: Piaskowska).

Scope of the edition: Automatic reading (15.10.2026), unverified against the original by a human; illegible fragments marked [...].
