Letter of Nanāya-īpuš to Nabû-bān-aḫi, Mannu-akī-Arba’il and Lā-qīpu, “his fathers”, assuring them that they are preparing the gravel, as the senders told them to in a previous message. The senders emphatically demand that a man not mentioned by name support them with bread for this work and that third persons received (it) from a boat. The sender now asks the recipients to let the aforementioned man take 10 baskets of flour from the earliest delivery, and they request that the aforementioned third persons be sent emmer and flour. At the end of the letter there is a piggyback letter in which Nanāya-īpuš asks about the well-being of Nabû-ušallim.
