Description

Recto, with the address on verso (probably secondary use): Letter from Abū Saʿīd, in an unknown location, to his brother Sibāʿ, in Fustat. In Arabic script. The sender also greets Munajjā and Abū l-ʿAlāʾ. He reports "I am in the place which you know. I have nothing. I have one dirham every day. If you know a good place [...] it for me, so that if I come, I can stay there. . . ."
