Letter to Frange asking him to visit and pray, as the roads are unsafe TM 219801Theben

[recto] I, the worthless (?) [Tsie (?)], am writing and greeting [my brother] Frange, in the Lord. [...] know that I have taken a keration of gold from the pi[...], [as] she will tell you. And we have suffered loss. She gives it to the man, because the roads are bad. You, on your part, your roads are straight; whenever you wish to visit, you will visit. Do the kindness, if it is possible, and come in to us, David, being afraid to go out, because the roads are bad. God knows that I have not neglected for a single day to ask after your affairs; but I am at a loss (?), since I do not go out. Do the kindness, pray for me. Farewell in the Lord. [verso] [Lift up] your [holy hands]. Do not delay to come in before you bind (?) [...] come in to the Prgen (?). Do not blame us, that we do not visit you. I am a worthless one; come to us. But do the kindness and do it for God's sake, and come. Farewell in the Lord.
