Description

Letter from a woman requesting help in receiving her share from her late husband’s inheritance(?), with various signatures of support. Mentions government interference as well as her husband's other (simultaneous) wife, the daughter of Abū l-Ṭāhir. Long, well-preserved, and full of interesting details. Should be edited. (Information in part from CUDL.) Same hand and probably the same case as T-S Ar.7.29 (PGPID 1283). Needs further examination.
