Description

Note in which a physician is asked to help a captive woman, imprisoned probably due to debt. The addressee responds with a brief note on verso stating that he will fulfill the request. He crosses out the sender's self-abasement from the original letter and replaces it with "rather, I am your slave." Cf. Bodl. MS heb. f 101/43 and T-S 6J5.18 for the same phenomenon.
