Greetings.
We do not have the seeds. Therefore, we ask you, if it seems good to you, to arrange to write to Chariton the steward to give us the necessary seeds of the lentil and the bean promptly, so that the time for gathering may not pass. Therefore, we have written to you, so that you may know. Farewell. (Year)
