Abstract
Croatian State Archives keeps a copy of the letter made by Ann Catherine Zrinska, dating from the time of her imprisonment in Graz, kept in the fonds of Zrinski and Frankopan families (HR-HDA-785. Zrinski and Frankopan families). It is, with no doubt, the most interesting letter of all members of those families, preserved in that fonds. Interesting content and specific linguistic character of the letter, led to its transcription and publication. The letter represents a small contribution to the huge corpus of preserved texts written in Croatian language of the time, in kajkavian speech, but it is extraordinary interesting from the prospective of content, related to the most prominent figures of Croatian history.
