He is apparently a client of Maḥmūd Ketḫüdā, almost certainly an officer in Egypt’s Janissary regiment. […] Thus, this petition probably dates from the middle years of the sixteenth century, and the disposition of the estate almost surely follows on an execution.... Ibn Baghdād’s estate seems to consist largely of clothing or, perhaps more accurately, textiles (Egyptian colloquial aswāb, standard Arabic athwāb, literally ‘robes’). […] Sixteenth-century chronicles note Bedouin populations hiding their textiles or depositing them with peasants, along with livestock and money, when under attack."

That letter has also in common with ours the fact that Maimonides' reply is written on the back of the sheet." - S. […] There are two blocks of text in Maimonides's hand on verso, at ninety degrees to each other. One is almost entirely illegible, does not appear to relate to the question on recto, and (very speculatively) could be a responsum for a legal question that the writer sent separately (though Stern would differ, as he read "dirham of lemon" where I read "shall be bound by a vow").
