Reading notes
Pages 17–18 form one letter; p. 19 is its folded address side. Page 16 bears a similar address to the Palatine/Voivode of the Ruthenian lands, but its letter cannot be identified securely; it is left unassigned and is not made a separate record. The year 1699 is certain from the dateline; the day and month reading remain uncertain.
