Αγαθος φίλος μοῦ Βοίδοὶω,
γραφω σοί μετα χαρα· Γνῶθί ὅτἰ ἐγὼ ἀληθη λέγω, ὅτί είπω, ἔσεταί μοὶ χάρμα παντων ἐπάξὶον, επὶ την γαῖαν ͵ἐὰν εὑρἰσκω σὺ καὶ πἀντες φιλοί μο͂ῠ εν αγαθος σωτηρ·
Ρίστευω μοί ὑμέτερος
είς τον αίωνα

My good friend Boyd,
I write to you with joy. Know that I speak the truth so that, I say, you shall be to me worthy of all joy that upon the earth I find and you of all my friends in goodness are a saviour.
Believe me yours
forever
Elizabeth Maria D
