Description

Letter fragment in Judaeo-Arabic. The writer mentions that he sent two dirhams to his cousin and wants him to purchase two kohl containers for him. He is particular about the kind he wants. It seems that he has described his specifications to a Jewish youth with blue eyes and a fair complexion. The size of the containers (or another good?) may be indicated by the two circles that he drew on verso. The letter is fragmentary and has folds covering key words, so this description is somewhat tentative. ASE.
