====LATIN TEXT====
1. Desideratissimo et reverendissimo patri Albino, 
Beda Christi famulus, salutem.

2. Dedicatio Gratantissime suscepi munuscula tuae dilectionis, quae per venerabilem fratrem nostrum Nothelmum presbyterum mittere dignatus es, et maxime litteras, quibus me iam secunda vice in ecclesiastica gentis nostrae historia, ad quam me scribendam iamdudum instigaveras, creber adiuvare atque instituere curasti. 

3. Propter quod et ipse tibi rectissime eandem historiam, mox ut consummare potui, ad transcribendum remisi. Sed et aliud, quod te partim desiderare comperi, volumen tibi vice remunerationis aeque ad transcribendum destinavi, videlicet, illud quod de structura templi Salomonis atque allegorica eius interpretatione nuper edidi. 

4. Teque, amantissime pater, supplex obsecro, ut pro mea fragilitate cum his, qui tecum sunt, famulis Christi, apud pium Iudicem sedulus intercedere memineris: sed et eos, ad quos eadem nostra opuscula pervenire feceris, hoc idem facere monueris.

5. Bene vale, semper amantissime in Christo pater optime.

1. Bede the servant of Christ sends greetings to the dearest and most reverend father Albinus.

2. I have received most gratefully the little indications of your favour that you have seen worthy to send through our venerable brother, the priest Nothelm, and most of all the the letters, through which you now for a second time have abundantly taken care to instruct and help me in the ecclesiastical history of our people, which you long ago had incited me to write.
