Translation into English

Let your sweetness be sent to me, and the one who dwells, so that I may not offend your wife.

But send me one maglavin, I am yours. If you send one, tell your brother Jordan to send this to me as well, but in any case, so that I may give thanks to you.

Show my letter to Peter the barber, so that he may also send me one maglavin, but in any case, tell my matter.

And the children are healthy and greet you.

To the sweet brothers John and Jordan.
