Paraphrase

Letter of Arad-Marduk to the High Priest (of Eanna, šatammu), "his father", assuring the High Priest that he can rest assured with regard to his previous message and that AM will pray for him. AM requests that the High Priest give out wool to a slave and mentions a remainder in broken context. AM also complains about Nabû-mukīn-apli, a shepherd, who is behaving badly ever since he obtained a KUR.RA-garment from the High Priest.
