This paper presents four hitherto unpublished Neo-Assyrian documents from the private collection of the late Jrgen Laesse.1 They record three separate legal transactions, namely the obligation to cover debts of silver. Two documents belong together as they constitute the inner tablet of the debt note and the clay envelope that originally encased it (Text 3a-b). Of the other two texts, only the inner tablet is currently known, and in the case of Text 1, the envelope was certainly already removed in antiquity, as evidenced by the characteristic damage created in the process of excavating the text
