Verso: Letter in Arabic script. Dating: maybe ca. 1150–1250. Mentions the arrival of al-Shaykh al-Najīb and discusses book copying (al-mujallad... bi-an yuṣliḥ al-nuskha...) and may include a request for a good new pen for 5 dirhams (...qalam jadīd jayyid wa-yurīduhu khamsa darāhim ukhrā...). Needs further examination.
