Description

Letter in Arabic script. Reporting on a dialogue between the sender and someone else about someone who hasn't received a payment, and how the sender hasn't yet left Fustat. Mentions: "... his arrival... every day in a gathering of the Jews on the small fast day (yawm ṣawm al-ṣaghīr)." Mentions the government (al-sulṭān) several times. Mentions "aṣḥābnā al-ḥāḍirīn" (our friends/colleagues who are present). Might mention "the palace" (al-qaṣr, v4), and coming down from it, then "no one should blame me...." Needs further examination.
