Konstancja Mądrawiczówna to Bartłomiej Anczewski regarding rights to the Kampian estates

[P. 2] + Most Noble Sir, my great Benefactor! The father confessor told us that Your Grace has postponed the matter [...] until this Monday, and since some of the gentlemen could have been here yesterday but were not, I understand it is due to a disagreement among those who were supposed to be here for some settlement. What kind of settlement is it, when the gentlemen [...] of ours, and [...] will stand on the law according to the decree, so that our fields are not ruined; to stop this thoroughly at [their] expense, then there will be an agreement immediately, and otherwise, it cannot be by any means. The gentlemen themselves acknowledge that this is not our fault, but the fault of the gentlemen themselves, for we have been asking for this constantly for several years, and the decree is already in its third year, yet the gentlemen themselves caused these costs through their negligence and caused us such great damage. For it is true that for a year and a half now, the engineer has been saying: "I will provide the cost, and let these gentlemen repair what they should with their own efforts." And they have not done so, they themselves are to blame. And now various departures, and nothing comes of it, everything is being destroyed and costs are mounting. For this, in the name of Sister Zofia [...] and all of us, we ask through God's mercy and justice, I pray that this may now come to fruition. Also, the father confessor said that the gentlemen are appropriating something for themselves [...] from these gifts [...] and this is known to Your Graces, our Gracious Lords. We think that we have no will to ever give away these gifts, and we cannot, because once they could not [...] build a monastery on this plot, we would like to submit [...], as Mr. Rębysz himself is a witness [...], who advised; we sent word of this to the Father General, from whom we not only [did not receive] permission, but received a strict prohibition. If the gentlemen also pretend that we are with them by favor, they are mistaken in this too, because these are our goods, strictly speaking from the words of the decree, formally fortified and adjudged to us. But I am not surprised that the gentlemen speak differently, especially those who [...] travel, young, ignorant of the matter, and promise themselves something, as if these were [not] our goods. [P. 3] To this, it is answered to the gentlemen, and let it be reminded to the oldest ones as well, that the late Mrs. Kampianowa, upon entering [the religious state], brought these goods as a dowry to our monastery. First, Your Grace sees that Mrs. Kampianowa, the deceased, overturns the son's testament through canon and civil law and becomes the heiress, the mother possessor, not only by natural law but through decrees and laws in your city, for they themselves made her the heiress by their decree. And with this, in the appeal to His Majesty the King, you sent your plenipotentiary, Mr. Załęski, [...] with your decree and your laws, that the mother is the possessory heiress [...]. By God's grace and before His Majesty the King, Mr. Grosmajer's case falls [...], and His Majesty the King approves the decree for us, [recognizing] Mrs. Kampianowa as the heiress [...]. Only then, Mrs. Kampianowa, having received the succession unshakeably, writes over and donates these goods to our monastery for all time and brings them as a dowry; how then can this be by anyone's favor? Then the monastery pays for them as its own goods, pays off certain debtors, taking their rights into our hands. Then the gentlemen of the city take [them] from us without any right, sending men against the peasants, and take the rent to the town hall for their deposit. We litigate with them about this before His Majesty the King, after which, by God's grace, we receive a decree with personal approval of our deeds and our possession under penalty for collecting these rents and with an order to compensate for losses, if the city caused us any damage in our possession; and immediately the rents that were in the deposit at the town hall were ordered to be returned to us, and so it happened. With this, another decree: the Kampian granddaughter by the son's right, with various others and with us; again, His Majesty the King's decree makes her the heiress of the Kampian goods, excluding those who have an inviolable right, through which this decree again confirms us in our goods. Then again, various damages follow and [...] they drag us to court; in everything, Mr. Grosmajer was the head. [...] commissions and other great delays. By the commissioners' decree, we again stand before the royal court regarding the approval; the commission decree releases us from the debt of 4 thousand, but with this approval, they leave us the right to defend ourselves [P. 4] by any means against this approval of the decree. From this point, we depart, filing a complaint before His Majesty the King himself. The opposing party's case falls; the late Chancellor himself, having risen from his seat, personally presents these royal decrees [...]. His Majesty the King approves our decree and all the senators there immediately congratulated us on the victory; and so it ended, and until now, by God's grace, we hold [these goods] in peace. I am the one who has walked around this matter for all these years, by God's grace. What I remember, and what I do not remember, there is much good in the decrees in our favor. Let him who would want to disturb us in these goods consider well whether he will not be disappointed! Your Grace also knows that these goods are fortified for us within the boundaries, for which oaths were taken during the commission. We have all of Mr. Kampian's deeds, the register for the lands, especially two from the whole city: one, which approves all the land deeds to Mr. Kampian, which he acquired in various ways (true, according to this deed, it was designated to give the city 4 zlotys [...]); the second deed [...], where Mr. Kampian lends the city 20 thousand, and the city for this service gives him a hide of land to his fields for all time, excluding him from the city for all his successors. In a word, in everything, we have undeniable rights [...]. Therefore, we ask that this be satisfied as soon as possible, because we must already, due to the non-fulfillment of the decree, file a protest [...] in which we have such great hindrance and damage. I entrust all this better to Your Graces, our lords, as our benefactors. Given today. Your Grace's, my Gracious Lord Brother's, prayer-woman and unworthy servant, Konstancja Mądrawiczówna, of the Order of Saint Dominic. [P. 5, address:] To the Most Noble Lord and Benefactor, His Grace Mr. Bartłomiej Anczewski [...] to be delivered.
