Copy of the Act of the Commissioner of the Plenipotentiary of the National Government in the Danube Principalities, Michał Mrozowicki, June 18, 1863–October 10, 1864 Part II: February 20 – October 10, 1864

During the January Uprising, the territory of Romania played a significant role in Polish military plans, and served as a base for fighting units. It was a route for the transfer of weapons and ammunition, and also housed Polish volunteers and soldiers who couldn’t cross into Russian territory to support the uprising. Acting on behalf of the National Government, commissioner Michał Mrozowicki was tasked with organizing the transfer of arms and ammunition, as well as taking care of soldiers and volunteers in the camps. His correspondence and reports to the National Government provide an account of events from June 1863 to October 1864, offering detailed information about his activities, the fate of Poles under his care, the challenges he faced as an official of the National Government, and the financial state, among other things.
