Translation into English

"To the certain one, to the sweetest one of mine, greetings.
I make your prostration.
I will prostrate myself to this.
Of a few camels, and of bread, I bring in a little basket.
And a new one has been sent.
Thus may it happen.
May there be pairs.
I embrace you, whatever you may give.
Until again, I hope for a tax and hope with children and your mother.
All embrace you.
Be well, my sweetest."
