A Letter of Nabû-kudurrī-uṣur (to be identified as the future king Nebuchadnezzar II, here still as crown prince) to Ninurta-šarru-uṣur, Nādinu, and Marduk-ēṭer (Royal Resident (qīpu), High Priest (šatammu), Temple Scribe (ṭupšar bīti)), informing the temple officials that all is well with him and the army and urging them to do their duty and report on it.
Nebuchadnezzar is still crown prince because he asks after the well-being of his correspondence partners, which a king does not do.
