תיאור

Business letter in Arabic script from Abū l-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī in Cairo to his father. He reports that he has sent 50 dinars' worth of pepper with the bearer of the letter. He asks his father to sell the pepper to Abū l-Ḥasan al-Wakīl for a good price and to send the money back to the sender. Verso contains interesting jottings and draft of official-sounding petitions or reports. The top section reads in part العبد المملوك يقبل الارض وينهي الى الحضرة . . . . زادها الله نفاذا بان يكتب كتاب الى والي ال . . . . . ولا يكون حكم انسان . . . مثل حكم البعيد والسلم. Both underneath this section and in the top margin there appears to be a date, 4[..] AH. Needs further examination.
