Description

Letter from a man, probably in Alexandria, to his 'brother,' probably in Fustat. In Judaeo-Arabic. The writer's maternal uncle has recently died. The bulk of the letter deals with a dispute whose details are difficult to reconstruct. Much of it seems to be reported speech between the writer and a woman. The writer also complains of difficult economic circumstances and the high price of flax and yarn. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.) ASE
