Description

Letter to 'al-rayyis al-ajall' in Arabic script. The sender has sent 1/8 dinar with the bearer of the note, which should kindly be parceled out to the teacher (apparently the Abū l-Faḍl mentioned further down) in payments of 1/2 dirham a day, because of the sender is absent. Verso contains pen trials in Hebrew and Arabic. Goitein's notes must pertain to a different shelfmark (Ar.40.96?).
