Letter: F 1908.44Y + F 1908.44W

Description

Fragment torn from what seems to be the same Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic letter (but a different sheet of it) as F 1908.44W, with the verso reused in the same manner. See join. The content of the letter remaining on this sheet includes an eloquent Hebrew introduction, greetings to "our rabbis," and then perhaps the beginning of a letter of recommendation for Men[aḥem?], from the important men of a certain city. The dīwān charged him. . . 17 Nāṣirī dirhams. . . and now he is penniless and cannot support his children.
