To Hoshaiah. Your welfare (may DN seek after at all times).
Now, look after the children by yourself until Ahutab comes. Do not entrust them to others.
If their bread is ground, knead for them 1 qab, (enough) until their mother comes.
Send word to me when you will make the Paschal sacrifice.
Do send news of the child.
