Kazimierz Dłużewski writes to Jan Jabłonowski, Voivode of Ruthenia, about the planned election of the Chełm chamberlain. He asks that a sejmik not be convened, citing the unsuitable candidacy of the Chełm standard-bearer and the nobility’s freedom to choose. The letter was written in Lublin on 1 June; the year 1698 comes from the inventory description.

A long letter to a recipient styled as a Count. The sender reports on matters and correspondence, names several people, and returns to issues requiring a decision or further action. Dense handwriting and show-through make the details difficult to read; the full subject and names cannot be established reliably. Near the end, the place is probably Warsaw and the date is 11 October, with no legible year. Page 1 is an archival cover; p. 5 contains the fold and address of the same letter.

The sender writes that one of the people in his household has a succession case before the court or magistracy of Lviv. He asks the recipients to consider the case fairly and refers to details concerning rights or property that are partly illegible. The dateline begins “Na granicy …” (“At the border of …”), but the place, day and year could not be confidently read.

A handwritten letter in Polish with a formal address to a most illustrious lord and benefactor. The text is faded and partly abraded, so its subject cannot be established with confidence. The inventory card labels the document an original and mentions Stanisław; it is not a separate text or translation. An incomplete notation “12 VI” appears near the end of the letter, without a year.

A letter from Bodzechyn, dated in February 1575; the day is uncertain. The writer addresses “Jaśnie Wielmożnych Panów i Braci” and asks for a payment and assistance. The address panel on p. 3 directs the letter to the recipients in Lwów.
