Description

Letter apparently from a woman (based on what appear to be 2 feminine adjectives, כפיפה and ראציא = ראציה) to her father (yā wālidī). Fragment (lower right corner). In Judaeo-Arabic. Refers to family drama and perhaps the sender's desire to move in with another woman in the family (nataʾawwa ʿindahā). On verso there is a draft of the first three lines of a letter in Arabic script. The remainder of verso and the margins of recto are also filled with Arabic-script pen exercises. (Information in part from CUDL.)
