Description

Letter (distressed) in Judaeo-Arabic. "If the girl is alive, I wish you to send me the letters, and if she has died, may God. . . . My mind is distressed [tashawwasha khāṭirī] on her behalf. Do not tell anyone where I am. . . because I am scared and my enemies are close behind." Abū Zikrī is mentioned in the middle of the enemies sentence (ואסתכתם אבו זכרי) but it is not immediately clear how he is related.
