To my lady, the queen, a message from the governor, your servant:At the feet of my lady I bow. I hope my lady is well.
Now here in the house of the king all is well. How are things going with you? Please let you servant know.
Here are the twenty dd-measures of barley,
Five dd-measures of GDL (large ??),
Five dd-measures of N‛R,
A kd-measure of myrth oil,
A kd-measure of lamp oil,
A kd-measure of vinegar,

I have delivered all the provisions that my lady requested.
This letter has more the nature of a bill of lading for provisions which the queen requested.
