תיאור

Recto: Letter concerning an order for a cloak (mulāʾa) which the writer had sent but the addressee had not confirmed receiving. In Judaeo-Arabic. Deferential tone throughout. The sender may be named Abū l-Surūr (l. 6). He previously sent a letter with Abū Daniʾel Maḥfūẓ asking for the addressee's instructions concerning the preparation of the mulāʾa (הל תדק או תמרש פקט). He did not hear anything and so he completed both operations (וקד מרשת אלמלאה ודקתהא) and sent it with Abū l-Munā Ibn al-Dihqān. He now asks for confirmation of receipt. Greetings to 'our rabbi Moshe.' Verso: Accounts in Arabic script, mentioning various names, commodities, and quantities. (Information in part from Mediterranean Society, IV, p. 408 and CUDL.)
