A partly legible letter to Lviv merchant Arthur Forbes. The salutation survives, but the contents and date cannot be reliably reconstructed.

Original wording — transcription

[Zwrot adresatywny:] Moie Wielce Mci Panie Forbes, Mci Panie y Przyjacielu. […] [tekst w większości nieczytelny; widoczne wzmianki o sprawie i kwocie, bez pewnego odczytu]. […] [Zakończenie i podpis:] […] [niepewne].

Reading notes

Page 2 contains a letter opening “Moie Wielce Mci Panie Forbes, Mci Panie y Przyjacielu”. Page 3 is its folded address wrapper to Arthur Forbes in Leopoli (Lviv), not a separate letter. Most of the text is illegible; dates from the inventory card’s range are not assigned to the letter.

Scope of the edition: Working partial transcription; gaps and uncertain readings are marked. No date is entered from the inventory card because no reliable dateline is legible in the letter.
