T-S NS 163.29

Very damaged letter. In Judaeo-Arabic. The text is rubbed and hard to read, but the letter seems to be of a private or family nature. The hand has some Maghrebi features. Various reports are given. Mentions al-Fuqqāʿī, al-ghilmān, Abū l-Maʿānī. Greetings to the sender's mother-in-law. At the end, "my longing for you is a fire that scorches... the heart from the intensity of the pain." There is an address, but it is almost completely rubbed out.
