Summary:This paper presents a first edition of the Middle Babylonian letter BM 108890. The unknown author complains bitterly about the inhospitable treatment he has received. Reflective of the author’s mood is the lack of introduction and formal greeting. Since a direct reference is made to Nippur, it is likely that this tablet originates from central Babylonia.
