Translation: From Šalim-Aššur to Iddin-abum, Itūr-ilī, Ennānum, Enah-ilī and Ennam-Aššur: As to what you wrote to me about, saying: Enter the colony and bring your house in order, and then, clear the affairs with your sons and do not hang your head all the time." Since my servants have acted high-handedly until this day and have not travelled to Damiq-pī-Aššur, and have not converted my goods to silver - for that reason I became worried, and since my textiles are infested with moths, I thought: "Let me enter with my goods and collect my assets, so that I may receive some 10 minas of silver that may be collected from my customers. Let me enter Kanesh with my assets." My dear brothers, until I clear myself, you there - together with the representatives of the affiliated traders who are staying there - should pester the men for the case, learn what they have to say and let them set the terms that are possible for them, and make me approach the colony. They know the losses and the maintenance, but without permission from my investors Ilī-ālum, Šu-Kūbum, Aššur-malik and Amur-Ištar's son I cannot leave to go overland. They say: "Leave, we shall settle your matter ourselves with Lā-qēpum, and then send you word, so you yourself can collect your assets and then we shall set the terms for you as best we can." My dear brothers, the men are favourable towards us. Pester them there for the case that I may clear myself, and then send word to me personally and give me encouragement. Keep an eye there on my servants just as you have done thus far, and let them assemble every last shekel of silver from my outstanding loans. Take care and encourage me and show me the eyes of the colony and your own eyes."
