PDF p. 2 contains one letter, and p. 3 its folded address sheet, whose writing is very faint; these are not two separate documents. The available reproduction does not permit a reliable reconstruction of the substance, date, place, or signature. The archival cover describes it as a letter from a Crown wojsky at the camp near Świrz to the magistracy of Lwów, but this is external description, and the date of 7 August 1661 recorded there has not been confirmed in the letter itself.

The writer addresses the Lviv councillors and discusses a matter connected with transport and the city’s rights; parts of the manuscript are difficult to read. The inventory card attributes the letter to Stanisław Tomaszewski, but the signature does not provide a certain confirmation. The letter’s own dateline gives Brody, 28 December 1620.
