Description

Letter in elegant Arabic script and style. "Waṣala kitābukā muwaddiʿan(?) min jawāhiri alfāẓihī wa-sharīf khiṭāb mā anʿama fī.... wa-hāja lāʿiju ishtiyāqī wa-lawʿatī..." The continuation seems to be praising the eloquence of the addressee, and it may cite a line or two poetry at the bottom. Needs examination.
