The servant Mer-itief greets the servant Rudef-neheh: In life, health, and well-being, and in the favor of Amun-Re, king of the gods. I pray to all the gods of Piramesse, l.h.g.: Grant that you are healthy, that you live, and that you are safe. Furthermore - regarding the sending that you made to the servant Mer-Maat with the words: Say to the man 'how are you?' Is Mer-Maat your servant, while I am your inspector? The man is well. And then, what you sent regarding the 3 girls - they are in good condition. If only any one of them were like they are. They have departed and they have come to you, so they are no longer here with us. Another message to the singer of Amun Nebu-em-... and to the singer of Amun Su-pa-tjau. Likewise - how are you? I pray to all the gods of Piramesse, l.h.g.: Grant that 〈you〉 are healthy, that you live, and that 〈you〉 are safe. Furthermore - I am in good health and I live today. What does it mean that you have not turned to my writing? Are you safe (or) are you (already) dead? Good be your well-being. (Address): To the servant Rudef-neheh.

Der Diener mer-itief grüßt den Diener Rudef-neheh: In Leben-Heil-und-Gesundheit und in der Gunst des Amun- Re, des Königs der Götter. Ich bete zu allen Göttern von Piramesse, l.h.g.: Gebt, daß du gesund bist, daß du lebst und daß du wohlbehalten bist. Ferner - was das Aussenden angeht, das du zum Diener Mer-Maat gemacht hast mit den Worten: Sag zu dem Mann 'wie geht es dir?' Ist Mer-Maat dein Diener, während ich dein Inspektor bin? Dem Mann geht es gut. Und dann, was du gesendet hast bezüglich der 3 Mädchen - sie sind in guter Verfassung. Wenn nur irgendein Einziger so wie sie wäre. Sie sind abgereist und sie sind zu Euch gekommen, sie sind also nicht mehr hier bei uns. Eine weitere Mitteilung an die Sängerin des Amun Nebu-em-... und an die Sängerin des Amun Su-pa-tjau. Ebenso - wie geht es euch? Ich bete zu allen Göttern von Piramesse, l.h.g.: Gebt, daß 〈ihr〉 gesund seid, daß ihr lebt und daß 〈ihr〉 wohlbehalten seid. Ferner - ich bin bei gutem Befinden und ich lebe heute. Was bedeutet, daß ihr euch meinem Schreiben nicht zugewandt habt? Seid ihr wohlbehalten (oder) seid ihr (schon) tot? Gut sei dein Wohlbefinden. (Adresse): An den Diener Rudef-neheh.
