Description

Business letter in Arabic script. The sender seems to be having problems with someone. He has purchased a camel and it or something else is delayed. He intends to "complete our errands" (ḥattā naqḍī ashghālnā), as "all the Arabs have completed their errands" (kull al-ʿarab qad qaḍaw ashghālhum). Needs examination.
