Letter BL OR 5542.31Description
A letter from Abū Zikrī in which he informs al-shaykh al-rashid al-Shemuʾel (aka al-Samawʾal) that upon returning from traveling, he was informed that he held a debt of 95 dinars as a result of false accusations by witnesses against his son Avraham, who lost 132 dinars. He asks al-Rashid to ask the Nagid Avraham what to do. He also congratulates the recipient on his recovery from his illness or injury. On the verso, he includes another question for the Nagid regarding owing 3 dinars of interest a month, and mentions his own illness.
