Letter from Yisrael b. Natan, probably from Qayrawan. Around 1040. The addressee in unknown, maybe it is Israel’s brother – Nahray, or another younger relative. The addressee traveled to Fustat and has difficulties to adapt so he considers going back to Qayrawan. At the same time, one of his daughters considers coming from Qayrawan to see him in Egypt. Israel writes that if he decides to come to the Maghreb he will have to decide to stay there. Also mentions Israel’s brother in-law or son in-law, which took from Yisrael a Mishna book and 1,000 dirhams and traveled to Israel. (Information from Gil, Kingdom, Vol. 3, #407) VMR
