Description

Informal note probably from a woman to her mother. May be an abandoned draft. In Judaeo-Arabic. The sender asks for the addressee's news and says "I only wish to divorce my husband (zawj) and take the little one." The term "zawj" can sometimes mean "spouse/wife," but it is more probable that it refers to a husband. ASE/OZ
