1673, from Laxenburg to Moravia, complete folded letter signed in full by Emperor Leopold I, addressed to Franz Karl Liebstainsky Count of Kolowrat-Reichnau, reacting to complaints raised by the Moravian estates and referring to a now-missing enclosure relevant to the matter, written on imperial paper in chancery hand with large red wax seal on reverse bearing the imperial double-headed eagle, datelined 31 May 1673, official court correspondence carried without postal markings as typical for the period, documenting administrative negotiations between provincial authority and imperial court during a phase of heightened internal political sensitivity, the enclosure to the letter is lost, yet parallel sources and the broader political context let us reconstruct the core of the 1673 grievances quite clearly: they targeted exorbitant war financing, troop quartering, overreach by imperial authorities, and the gradual erosion of provincial‑estate privileges.
