Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Probably early 13th century. Might be from a family member of Sitt Ghazāl to Shelomo b. Eliyyahu (cf. Bodl. MS heb. c 28/64 + CUL Or.1080 J125 + DK 357 and ENA 2808.36). Or might be the handwriting of Yehuda b. Ṭuviyyahu? "You write to me that you are in distress from her character (akhlāq). I want you to write to me and tell me exactly what the problem is, because I don't know what the problem is. Tell me what it is so that I can take care of it for you... for you are dear to me, greater than my brother and like my father in nobility. Whatever good you treat her with, God will reward you for it and you will earn reward." Greetings to 'the dear sister,' to Isḥāq and his wife, to al-Ḥedvat (cf. ENA NS 53.5, ENA NS 58.14, T-S NS J420, T-S NS J76), Bū Saʿd, others, and Bū l-Faraj al-Makīn b. Bū l-Zakkār(?). On verso there is a calendar.
