Description

Letter draft in Arabic script. Addressed to Abū l-Murajjā (ابلمرجا). Only a few words of the substance of the letter are preserved after the standard opening blessings. Reporting that the sender arrived in a certain place and came to the shop. The sender seems to have forgotten to include the name of the place after the word 'ilā': واما اعلمك به اني وصلت الى وقد اصبت الدكان. There are a few more words crossed out at lower right.
