I'm trying to reply to an email from a research collaborator. He sent me an article of his and asked me to review it. So, my question is what is the proper word/phrase to convey that I have read the article not completely, but "almost completely" or "almost thoroughly". I have this in mind- 'I have fairly read your article'. But I need better suggestions.
Thanks!

Essentially? Effectively? Sufficiently? Note that I'm only throwing out guess and not providing an actual answer. You need to be clearer in what you're looking for.

@JasonBassford Since the verb here is 'to read', I guess sufficiently would better fit in from the guesses you made. I'm looking for some word/phrase which describes that I've adequately done a job, although not completely (like 100%)
