In English machine translation

[Fragment A] [...] [...] ... [...] [...] ... [...] ... [...] [...] letter (?) [...] ... [...] [...] you (?) from [...] [...] of the [...] wild (?) [...] [...] letter [...] my three [...] [...] silver (?) [...] so that [...] [...] therefore [...] [...] having made [...] received [...] [...] and [...] [...] and leather (?) [...] [...] [...] [Fragment B] [...] [...] pounds [...] and [...] pounds [...] [...] and a bowl of 3 pounds and [...] [...] I therefore ask you, lord, [...] [...] send my three [...] [...] if you wish, so that [...] [...] to you the things that are ready [...] [...] [...]

The word rendered "bowl" (troulla) denotes a ladle or basin; "leather" is a guess from a partial word skout-, possibly a leather or hide item.
