original


Explanation:
Without more context it is a kind of hard to say, but it looks like it refers to being the first in a series of letters, or that it is the actual letter and not a photocopy of it. Therefore I would think of using "original". Other possibilities are:
initial letter
first letter (if the first in a series)

Hope this helps and have a nice day.

Explanation:
Urspruenglich conveys the sense of early, beginnings... It would be easier to be certain if I could see the text you are translating, however, "urspruenglich" may indicate that this is the beginning of a correspondence between the sender and the receiver, many letters relating to a complex transaction, or be referring to the fact that this is the original version of the letter prior to any modification or editing.

unrevised, unedited, original, initial, source, reference, beginning
