Description

Note addressed to Muʿallim Mordekhay. Probably Ottoman-era. It begins, "Why do you say that I went to the synagogue and didn't pray?" (ליש תקול אני רחת לל כינס ומה סליתש). The writer then seems to defend himself in the next three lines, including by calling Mordekhay "yā arur" (O cursed one). He then signs with an elaborate signature underneath (M[...]). Merits further examination.
