Translation / modern text

[P. 9] My Great and Gracious Benefactor, I cannot proceed with Your Grace's affairs for the reasons I wrote about in my first letter to His Grace Mr. Grozwaier. However, I must consult with good friends, and if it seems otherwise to them, I shall do what is necessary. I have not yet received the money from His Grace Mr. Szalemberg; however, I understand that His Grace will pay when he is free from his current occupations. I have received 50 florins from the monks and I will give them to Your Grace, and I will pay for the beer. I am sending the decree belonging to Mr. Skurczewski and I ask that Your Grace be so kind as to deliver it, while commending my services. I cannot write myself at this moment due to difficulties. Today we shall be with His Grace the Chancellor. May it be successful. His Grace Mr. Grozwaier instructed me in his letter to consult with Mr. Zaleski and follow his advice. He gave the following advice: that His Grace Grozwaier should separate his inheritance and the legatees, and then, as a private person, he will resolve it without difficulty. I do not know how this will please His Grace. I cannot write anything new at this moment due to the press of business. I shall not miss any opportunity; for now, I only declare that I am Your Grace's humble servant. S. Kuszewicz In Warsaw, March 6, 1646, in the greatest haste. [P. 10, address:] To my Great and Gracious Lord and Benefactor, His Grace Mr. Maciej Hayder, Councilor and Mayor of Lviv.

[S. 9] Moy wielce M[o]s[ć]y Dobrodzieiu. Sprawy w[aszey] m[oś]ci m[ego] przypuscić niemogę, z tych przyczyn, ktorem w liście swo- im pierwszym J[eg]o m[o]ści panu Grozwaierowi wypisał. Znieść się iednak muszę cum bonis amicis: a ieżeli inaczy będzie się zdało J[e]g[o] m[oś]ciom, ia faciam facienda. Pieniedzy od J[e]g[o] m[oś]ci pana Szalemberga jeszcze nie wziąłem: rozumiem iednak, że J[eg]o m[ość] odda, kiedy się z teraznieyszych zabaw uspockoi. Od zakonnikow wziąłem 50 fl[orenów] y oddam w[aszey] m[oś]ci m[emu] y piwo zapłacę. Posyłam dekret panu Skurczewskiemu należący: y proszę racz go w[asza] m[ość] m[oy] oddać przy usługach moich. Sam na ten czas pisać nie mogę dla trudności. Dziś będziem u J[eg]o m[oś]ci P[ana] Kanclerza. Vtinam feliciter. J[eg]o m[ość] P[an] Grozwaier kazał mi w liście swoim zno- sić się z P[anem] Zaleskim, et sequi ipsius consilium. Dał tedy takowo con- silium, aby J[eg]o m[ość] Grozwaier odprzągł suam hereditatem et legatarios: a potym uti civis privatus eximet facili negotio. Niewiem co się to będzie zdało J[eg]o m[oś]ci. Nowego nic na ten czas pisać nie mogę dla zabaw. Żadnyey okazyei nie opuszczę: teraz tylko oświadczam się, żem iest w[aszey] m[oś]ci m[ego] powolnym sługą S Kuszewicz w Warsz[awie]. 6 marca 1646 raptissimè [S. 10, adres:] Moiemu wielce M[o]sciwemu Panu y Dobrodźieiowi, J[eg]o m[oś]ci pa- nu Maciówi Hayderowi Raycy y Burmistrzowi Lwowskiemu
