Description

Letter of appeal for charity. In Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. Long, well-written, well-preserved. The sender, now fallen on hard times, may be referring to his own prosperous origins when he refers to "a great family, a family of knowledge and good and merchants and travelers" (מן בית כביר בית אלעלם ואלכיר ואלתגאר ואלמסאפרין).
