T-S AS 161.15

Personal letter in Judaeo-Arabic, quoting Genesis 34:7; 31:27. Begins "there is no doubt that you are the one who has wronged me," then "I would not have tried to travel [if ...]." On verso it mentions somebody's death; how this was difficult for 'the venerable elder,' who subsequently fell sick; a legal opponent; and a fight between a man and his relatives. Might be in the handwriting of Shelomo b. Eliyyahu; the belligerent tone would fit, and the hand is extremely close to JRL SERIES A 191, which he signs. (Information in part from CUDL)
