Translation: From Ennam-Aššur to Damiq-pī-Aššur: I wrote to you earlier, saying: If your caravan is being packed, then you too should pack together with your caravan, and choose textiles of good quality from the goods of the merchant that you are leading, and leave them in Mamma or in Unapse, and the rest of the less good textiles - both from what remains of the merchant's and from your own working capital and from the working capital of the servants - should enter the palace together with your partners." Now, winter has caught you in Uršu. Since there is a lot of snow I have not sent anyone on whom I could rely for the goods of the merchant. When you are released (from the cold), then I shall send either myself or someone I can rely on, and I shall take a decision about the merchant's goods. Why did you write, saying: "A heated letter from the merchant came." I have personally been delayed and been unable to take any decision about the merchant's goods. Come on, it is to me you write! Urgent, guard the goods of the merchant; and with regard to your message where you said: "There are some old textiles" urgent, the very day you hear my letter you and Ilī-ašrannī should air all of the textiles in the store-room of a friend, and leave them for 3 or 5 days before you turn them over. Do not let anyone else approach (them). Do not hesitate for 10 days! I have sent Uṣur-ši-Ištar to Enišārum concerning your tin. When they come back from Zalpa, I shall send Ali-ahum. I sent Ilī-tūram to you with 0.5 mina of refined silver and small goods worth 3 shekels under my seal. Idnaya and Aluwa are bringing you 15 shekels of silver, the proceeds from your textile. Your donkeys should be fed. "
