Translation / modern text

[P. 19] In Baszków, 12 June 1702 + My Most Illustrious, My Dear, My Benefactor! Though my congratulations are late, they are heart-felt and precede all moments, wishing you the very best, or while remaining in their excellence, offering the same for sincere [...] [P. 20] [...] the road from Szczecin and so I wait for nothing else but news of whether His Grace the Podstoli will be in Warsaw and where I might be able to fall at his feet as soon as possible, at which nothing is frightening to me, that is the greatest [P. 21] to marry Miss Ogińska without paternal consent. I was there and managed to ensure that they come here to me [...] he was sent back to his father. But about this, My Benefactor, an oral conversation is needed, but he will not stop in Rymanów now. [P. 22] Why I am sending this so late to His Grace, my Benefactor, the reason is the Wrocław road, which is very fast. As for the Starosta of Warsaw, his father sent to me with great pleas that I release him from this obligation of his, because he was to go straight to Rymanów and there [P. 23] and the successful prosperity of His Grace, my Benefactor. And having written all this from the bottom of my heart, I now announce what is happening to us. I was to go to Warsaw, when news reaches me from [...] from my husband, that the Swedes are marching to Warsaw and it is dangerous, and here for us [P. 24] the danger to my health, that is not to be held, I renew my wishes, with which I am His Grace, my Benefactor's heart-loving sister and most humble servant, Anna Leszczyńska

Reading notes

The page layout in the PDF file reflects the mechanical scanning of individual leaves (13r, 13v, 14r, 14v, 15r, 15v). The logical reading order of the text, resulting from the structure of the bifolia and the continuity of sentences, is: p. 19 -> p. 23 -> p. 22 -> p. 21 -> p. 20 -> p. 24. The inventory incorrectly read the date as '6 July / туба' – on p. 19 it clearly states 'w Baszkowie 12 Jun 1702'. The recipient is addressed as 'Jasnie Oswiecony' (Jan Stanisław Jabłonowski held the title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire). Signature on p. 24: 'kochaiącą siostra (...) Anna Leszczynska'. Mentioned are the author's husband Rafał Leszczyński ('JM mego') and her brother Aleksander Jan Jabłonowski, the Crown Podstoli ('JM Pan Podstoli').
