Translation / modern text

A partly legible letter from Paris about the situation in Poland and difficult peace negotiations with Savoy. The writer mentions the honour and interests of the parties. The dateline contains “à Paris ce 27”, but the month and year are illegible. The letter ends with a signature tentatively read as Jean Zamorski and a postscript promising to send a book.

Original wording — transcription

[Datownik, s. 21:] „à Paris ce 27 [...]” [miesiąc i rok nieczytelne]. [Nagłówek:] „Monseigneur”. [Tekst, s. 21–23:] Odczyt częściowy po francusku. Nadawca pisze o aktualnej sytuacji w Polsce („conjoncture”/„affaires de Pologne”) oraz o rokowaniach z Sabaudią; czytelny fragment: „la paix [...] avec la Savoye”. Wspomina o honorze, interesach i stanowisku stron. Pozostały wywód nie został odczytany w całości. [Zakończenie i postscriptum, s. 24:] widoczny podpis odczytywany prawdopodobnie jako „Jean Zamorski”; w postscriptum nadawca zapowiada przesłanie książki przy pierwszej sposobności.

Reading notes

Pages 21–24 form a complete letter: p. 24 contains the postscript and signature. It is not joined to the new letter beginning with a salutation and dateline on p. 25. The date remains null because the month and year after “27” cannot be read reliably.

Scope of the edition: Working, partial reading; dateline and signature uncertain.
