[recto]
First of all, my insignificance greets your esteemed brotherliness in every good manner, and also I greet all those who belong to you, from the small to the great, and after this I beseech your brotherliness to do the kindness and send me some copper, for I have need of it now,
whether copper or iron or anything at all. Do the charity and send them to me, so that our Lord Jesus Christ may bless you and your children and your whole house. And also it is not just that you should forget
all this time not sending anything.
