The sender addresses the councillors of Lwów with wishes for health and every good thing in the new year. He mentions receiving a letter that day and refers to a matter involving the city, though the further details are difficult to read. The dateline on the letter itself reads “Dan z Wolbora 30 Januaryi 1575.” The name and title in the signature are tentatively read as Erazm Karnkowski, bishop of Kujawy.
