Translation / modern text
Two pages of a difficult-to-read letter survive. The salutation and address probably contain the surname Hander, but this reading is uncertain. The closing notation may include the day 18 and the year 1647, but neither the month nor the full date is sufficiently legible, so no date is assigned. The separate range on the inventory card is not treated as the letter's date.

Reading notes
Page 1 is an inventory card, not a separate document. Pages 2 and 4 are the two written pages of one letter; p. 3 is the reverse with show-through, and p. 5 is the outer address side/envelope. No separate records were created for the card or envelope. No date is assigned: the letter's closing notation is incomplete, and the range on the inventory card is not a secure date for the letter. The reading 'Hander' is tentative.
