Description

Personal letter. In Arabic script. After complaining about the lack of responses, the substance of the letter begins around line 10. Al-Shaykh Ibrāhīm sent something for Purim (ʿalā l-Fūr). The next few lines mention some sort of valuable good ([...] aswad... qaḍīb(?) dhahab). The sender is anxious that he (or she) will not receive what they need before the holiday (5 lines from the bottom). Needs further examination.
