Description

Letter from Misgavya b. Moshe to the ḥaver Yaʿaqov b. Yosef Av Bet Din, in Aleppo. Asking him to send certain liturgical poems and to help a relative of his: ʿAlī b. Faraj b. Raḥmān, who is the sender's in-law, because 'we married his daughter to the son of Maḥfūẓ b. Yosef, who is the son of my sister." At present he sends 2.5 (Syrian) pounds of mushrooms (kamāh), as nothing else was to be had. Prefaced by 14 lines of opening. See Med Soc III, p. 29, bottom, sec. 1 = III, 434, note 79. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.)
