From [your] b[rother PN] (1) to my sister Tabi. I have blessed you by Ptaḥ that
he may let me behold your face in pe[ace....]my son seeks after your welfare.
And now, Ma[kkibanit] gave [to Banitsar] son-in-law of Nabusha silver,
6 sh(ekels) and a zuz. [Banitsar came to me] and brought me forth, me and my son,
and I wrote [a document] ab[out it] for him. [Go] and buy wool as much as
you are able and se[nd it to Tashi at Sy]ene. Behold,
he gave [you 1] sh(ekel) (6) (from) the silver which was (7) in his hand. [Nabusha and Makki] banit seek after your welfare
and the welfare of Taru and [.... And n]ow, Banitsar is well here.
And (as for) his son, do not be co[ncerned about him. And now, behold,] we are seeking a boat
that they may bring him to you. [I have sent] this [le]tter [(to inquire)] about [your welfare.]
To my mother [Tabi from PN son of] Srh. To be delivered (to) Luxor.
