An 18th century letter fragment from July 19 notes a complete victory won by Prince Gallitzin over the Turkish army commanded by a Seraskier near Chocgim.

Fragmented OCR text mentions a supposed Covhress meal scandal, a Count Laudins and a German spa, Knights of the Bat, a planned open event at Gutlaford, and references to a gang of money seekers. It hints at a robbery investigation and a potential forthcoming attack, with scattered names and places.
