Description

Letter from Yaʿaqov to his son Shemuel and wife Umm Shemuel. In Judaeo-Arabic. Written over four columns and folded like a bifolium. The writer castigates his son sharply for not allowing his mother to leave and return to her husband like she had promised she would do when she went to stay with him. He conveys a detailed tale of a financial dispute with a certain faqīh and various other parties. He reiterates his demand that Umm Shemuel return immediately. Needs further examination.
