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.

unrevised, unedited, original, initial, source, reference, beginning 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 (can be combined)unrevised original, original source, initial reference, Urspruengszeugnis - certificate of origin A wonderful life in Austria Reference: http://[email protected] |
