Translation: To Aššur-imittī from Aššur-bāni: Why do you keep writing me about silver? You say: “Send me silver!” When you went away you left me 15 shekels of silver, and that was spent before Kurub-Ištar returned from Tawiniya. You said: “Go! I shall send you tablets worth some 10 minas of silver, so you can have the silver paid, then set out and leave.” Instead of sending me tablets you warn me constantly whenever the merchant certified our tablets. And you know yourself that you left only 30 portions of food for me. From where shall I get anything so I can feed anyone under these harsh conditions?  And I, as you know, I must feed and raise the son of Šu-Ištar, the maid and the slave, (and) you do not feed me, so I have become indebted for at least 1 mina of silver for the food for the household.
