The work is a specialized 17th-century German alchemical tract titled 'Freundliches Send-Schreiben eines Adepti Scientiæ & artis Hermeticæ' (1684). Extensive searches across scholarly catalogs, Google Books, and Open Library for both the original title and potential English translations ('Friendly Missive', 'Friendly Letter') returned no evidence of a prior English translation. Given its niche subject matter and anonymous authorship, it is highly likely that this is the first complete English translation.
