Letter of thanks sending holy oil and water, with request for vinegar TM 118281unbekanntVI

[verso] According to a [...] goodness (?) [...] that your body is at rest [...] I rejoice greatly. But [...] [we beseech] God that he may grant [you] and give you the healing of your body and the health of your soul. [Let us be] worthy to hear or see your health [...] a power [...] which your God-loving self sent, the good one; we received them [...] we received them, together with all your blessings. We give thanks to you greatly for the great offering, though we have no power to repay you for it; but he to whom you sent it is able to heal your soul and your body. For we are not worthy of such provision (?) [...] As you ordered, saying, "Send me the oil of the holy altar and a little water," behold, I have sent it, and I have also sent a little piece of bread (?) in the cloth of Apa Severus. I think you have gone down to the city; take great care of it for me while I write. I greet you from the head to the soles of your feet, and I greet my beloved daughter Kyrakale greatly and all her household. My sinful self prays that God bless her and all her household. Behold, the little crosses I have sent to her children. [recto] Greetings, greetings, greetings in the grace of the holy consubstantial Trinity. † After I had written this letter, the brothers urged me, saying, "Ask your God-loving self: if there is a little vinegar with you, do us the kindness." And if it is a burden, add this goodness too to all your other virtues.
