Letter from Salah b. Daud, probably from Tinnis, to Nissim b. Ḥalfon b. Bnaya. Around 1057. Regarding the difficulties to sell indigo, which the writer received probably from Fustat, because the merchants from Alexandria are flooding the market with indigo. Also mentions a check for 60 dinars. It seems like the letter was written in the time of the famine in Egypt and people advised the writer not to travel to Fustat. (Information from Gil, Kingdom, Vol. 4, #784) VMR
