Letter from a woman, in Rashīd, to Yom Ṭov al-Buḥayrī (it seems her son-in-law) and his wife Esther (it seems her daughter), in Fustat/Cairo. […] She seems to use masculine verb endings when addressing each one of the two; she opens with "salām allāh taʿālā ʿalā a[l]-ṣihr(?) al-ʿazīz wa-ʿalāal-bint al-ʿazīza Esther min ummik" and there is no clear alternative to eading ṣihr, which can mean son-in-law as well as brother-in-law; but she also writes "greet your mother-in-law" (with masculine verb ending), a statement that has to be addressed to her own child.

May also mention the city of Medina (r18) in a section where it seems that both Medina and Mecca are personified (r18: فلما سمعت المدينة المحروسة, r24–25: فلما سمعت مكة). […] There is a later Rangstreit between Mecca and Medina in BNF MS Arabe 1667, 190v-200v, in which the dispute is mediated by Sayf al-Dīn Yalbughā (d. 1366). Merits further examination.

Ḥananʾel, probably in the town of al-Ṣaffayn. Dealing with various business transactions. There was also a market named al-Ṣaffayn in Fustat; in this case the address would likely have been written "to Fustat, to al-Ṣaffayn," but there are some examples of addresses that list only the name of a location within a city, e.g., T-S 6J4.20 (PGPID 17099). (Information from Stephanie Luescher, Moshe Yagur, and Alan Elbaum.)

Letter from a woman to her brother Ḥusayn, the ghulām of Rashīd al-Dawla. In Arabic script. The sender may be complaining about the character of a woman (al-qubḥ alladhī kāna khulquhā), but this is unclear, or khalfahā. She mentions something happening to an ass (al-ḥimāra), perhaps it perished, and hence she no longer has an animal (mā lī bahīma). Mentions a period of time and rent. On verso there are also jottings in Judaeo-Arabic. Needs further examination.

A late letter from a mother to her son Yosef b. Ghunaym (may appear also in T-S 28.10). Among other news she informs him that his aunt's daughter (?) was abandoned by her husband who might went to Alexandria. Part of the address, in Hebrew, is preserved on verso: the location of the addressee is not known, and he might be in Rashid or other place in Egypt. Israel is also mentioned but it is unclear if the letter was sent from there.
