AIU VII.E.179
Letter in Ladino and Hebrew addressed to Moshe Ruben dated 6 August 1754 (28 Av 5514). The sender's calligraphic signature is damaged and mostly illegible. The author has a strong command of Hebrew and code-switches into it more frequently than is commonly the case in Ladino letter writing. For example, following the heading, the opening lines of the body of the letter rely primarily on Hebrew and in l. 11r the writer switches when mentioning "הדיין המצויין יצחק נואני יצו... ולכל שירות" (l. 11-12r). In the following line the author mentions "our brother Eliyyahu Portos" which may mean "אחינו" is being used loosely rather than in the sense of direct familial ties between siblings (l. 13r). The letter's marginal section is damaged, likewise the address on this shelmark's fourth scan has deteriorated to the extent that it is not possible to confirm the letter recipient's location (though the latter portion of [No-Am]on may be visible indicating Alexandria. MCD.

AIU VII.E.19
Family letter, likely from a father to a son. (Based on v13–16: "If only I had never been created so that people would not look at you and say 'this is the offspring of that wicked man, because if he were righteous, his children would be likewise.'") In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Likely early 13th century, based on paleography. There seems to be a dispute over an inheritance of a house owned by the addressee's mother. The addressee has been blaming his mother, and the sender rebukes him for that. But then, "It is not your fault or his(?) fault, but rather everyone's fault. It was I who caused her the absence of your brother's wife that brought her and me all these misfortunes, from her and from him. If only there were peace between them, then it would be easier to bear her degradation. I was the one who made her secretly travel with you to where she could build you a house in our lifetime. But all this did not suffice for you, and you claim that she has mired you and cast you down. Where are you and your brother with regard to God [=where is your piety]?" Needs further examination to fully understand the situation. ASE
