Description

Letter fragment in Judaeo-Arabic. Some space between the lines. The sender expresses his great distress upon hearing bad news; even "packages of paper" would not suffice to convey his distress: אלאכבאר אלמזעגה . . . מן אלאנזעאג . . . מא לו דכרתה למא . . . כפאה דסות אלורק ובקית דאהלא מתחירא לא . . . מא אקולה מן אלשמועות . . Verso contains both Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic sections (in different hand than recto).
