الوصف

Letter in Arabic script. Opens with a poem about the joy of receiving a letter from a loved one. A different version of this poem is cited several hundred years later by al-Itlīdī (17th c.) (https://shamela.ws/book/408/157): وصل الكتاب فلا عدمت أناملاً عنيت به حتى تضوع طيبا ففضضته وقرأته، فوجدته لخفي أوجاع القلوب طبيبا فكأن موسى قد أعيد لأمه أو ثوب يوسف قد أتى يعقوبا — this verse is very close to the second verse in the Geniza letter: "(Your letter arriving) was as if Moses had been returned to his mother, or the garment of Joseph to Jacob." Apart from the poem, none of the substance of the letter is preserved, except for the name al-shaykh Abū l-Faḍāʾil in the margin.
