Piasutno<\/strong>, Piasutten<\/em> in German, a village in Polish-Prussian Masuria, Szczytno Powiat, on the lake [Piasutno Lake] from which the Rozoga River flows .\u00a0 Downstream it is called the Szkwa River.\u00a0 The post office is in Friedrichsfelde [now called Choch\u00f3\u0142] .\u00a0 \u00a0Adam Napieralski<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
