Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Unusual handwriting: blocky, calligraphic. The writer bemoans that he has lost all his money and merchandise. "The reason for the debt is that my work is with ... the Shaykh Abū Saʿd known as Abū [...]." The fragment ends around here. Probably he is going to ask for help.
