Description

Letter from the cantor Abu Sahl (Levi), Fustat, to his son Moshe b. Levi ha-Levi, Qalyub. He informs him that he reached a peaceful settlement with "the man you know," and that Moshe's brother Abu l-Ḥasan (Yedutun) is doing well. Abu Sahl sends his regards to al-Shaykh al-Yesod. Something (a coat?) has arrived and is in the store, and Moshe is asked to come retrieve it on Sunday. This note may be a sequel to Moss. IV,27.2, which describes the efforts of Abu Sahl and his wife to appease the family of the wife of 'Imran (Abu Sahl's brother) in some sort of conflict that Moshe was involved in. Information in part from Goitein, Med Soc V, 598. ASE.
