Letter AIU VII.E.38

Description

Letter from Abū l-Majd to his cousin Eliyyahu the Judge. It deals with questions of travel; mentions someone in Damascus; mentions al-Maḥalla, Bilbays, Fusṭāṭ, and Cairo. He asks to be sent "the wakāla" (power of attorney) and 200 dirhams (?). The letter closely resembles CUL Or.1080 J235 (same sender, recipient, some of the same subjects), in which Abū l-Majd said "I have sent you many letters on this matter and not received a response." ASE.
