Entitled "Love and Gold", the letter is about gold from Egypt (gold mine production), love between father-king ancestors and the current relationship between the King of Mitanni and the Pharaoh of Misri (Egypt), and marriage of women from King Tushratta of Mitanni to the Pharaoh of Egypt.

The initial corpus of letters were found at Akhenaten's city Akhetaten, in the floor of the Bureau of Correspondence of Pharaoh; others were later found, adding to the body of letters.

(Obverse only, Paragraphs I-VII): In letter EA 19, 'gold' is referenced 21 times.

[2] The entire list contains ten items, ending with: '10 teams of horses; 10 wooden chariots along with everything belonging to them; and 30 women (and) men.'

The first mention of 'gold', Akkadian hurāṣu,[3] occurs on the obverse, EA 9 (photo above), in paragraphs VI and VII.
