First Line: Bilbea, I was in babylon on saturday night
Last Line: And take care of yourself.


(From tablet writing, Babylonian excavations of 4th
millennium B.C.)

BILBEA, I was in Babylon on Saturday night.
I saw nothing of you anywhere.
I was at the old place and the other girls were there, but no Bilbea.

Have you gone to another house? or city?
Why don't you write?
I was sorry. I walked home half-sick.

Tell me how it goes.
Send me some kind of a letter.
And take care of yourself.
