Nahray opens with concern about Barhūn's illness and an unsettled account that he has repeatedly tried to reconcile and will resolve when Barhūn returns to Fustat. […] On the verso he turns to accounting: coins sealed with the seal of the Dār al-Kattān reckoned to his account, with receipts taken from the dīwān; and a dispute over short-weight flax bales brought before the amīr Jalāl al-Dawla, shortfalls measured against the Dār al-Kattān standard and attributed to loss in transit.

On his way to India, Abū Barakāt al-Labdī met Yiṣḥaq al-Nafūsī in Aden, who gave him some merchandise to sell for him. The lost part of the letter probably details how this merchandise was sold in India; the surviving part accounts for what Abū Barakāt bought for al-Nafūsī in India, as well as the expenses (taxes, rent for a warehouse, etc) during his stay in Aden.
