Letter 43: Some One Requests Andhune to Send Him Clothing from Friesland. He Asks Whether…
To the father Andhune, most beloved in Christ, bound by the tie of affection, greetings from the heart.
Why hast thou not sent the clothing, which thou shouldst have sent from the province of the Frisians? Now in the name of God the Almighty have it come at once. Tell us something about our bishop: whether he has gone to the synod held by the ruler of the Western provinces1 or to the son of Carlomann.2 Answer us by letter. Send back quickly this messenger, Hartleih by name. I pray thee, master, to make his stay there and his journey hither easy for him.
Farewell, O flower of the church And pray for us, as we do for you, that the peace of Christ may abide in us. Amen.
Notes
- Pippin, afterwards king.
- Drogo, who succeeded upon Carlomann’s retirement but played no conspicuous part.
