Description

Upper part of a letter. Likely addressed to Mevorakh b. Saʿadya (שר השרים ונגיד הנגידים). Probably an appeal for charity. The introductory praises are in Hebrew and the body is in Judaeo-Arabic. The sender complains of the distress he suffered in Fustat or Egypt, something to do with his children and how he lost all his money. (Information in part from CUDL)
