Letter from a father to his son Abū l-Riḍā the physician. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dealing with various financial and family matters. The father is in distress from unemployment ('and you know the character of your mother...'). The portion on verso mentions Abū l-Faraj the Christian silk merchant 'who is in your market.' The father has sent a book on sheḥiṭa and asks for copies of other books. Everyone is worried about the capitation tax.
