Description

Letter in Arabic script. The bottom 9 lines are preserved. Mentions Raḍiyy al-Dawla; sending things; possibly someone named ʿAbd al-Masīḥ; the intriguing line "Woe to the people of Aswān from [...]" (l. 4); and various greetings, including to "mawlāy al-raʾīs Abū l-Faḍl." Needs further examination.
