Description

This is the verso of another letter, though the two seem to be unrelated. It is likely that this letter is a draft, as it seems to peter off and there are diagonal lines written across much of the text. The author mentions an old woman, and the only legible name is Ibn al-Faraj, though there is not enough information to identify this person.
