To the king, my lord: your servant Ṭab-ṣill-Ešarra. Good health to the king, my lord! May Aššur and Mullissu bless the king, my lord!

The stands of both bronze panthers are quite attractive; they are working on minor improvements in their finish.

As to the wood store for the iron brazier in the palace of the Inner City about which the king, my lord, wrote to me, I consulted the mayors, masons and elders (who told me this):

"The chief of public works will do the demolition and the brickwork; the sons of the palace maids will supply the materials needed and plaster its roof; if a beam is broken, the masons of the Inner City will supply the replacement."

Now, I have told the chief of public works to pull it down and buid it up, but he does not agree (but says): "[.....] I will supply the replacement for its broken beams."

This year may (well) pass (before the work is done); the king my lord will come in Shebat (XI) and settle (the issue).
