Letter from a certain Mūsā, in Alexandria, to Eliyyahu the Judge, in Fustat. The sender, who is apparently engaged to a minor girl soon to reach maturity, asks Eliyyahu to intervene with his future father-in-law Bū Zikrī b. Netanel b. Hillel so that Bū Zikrī does not try to delay the wedding any further. (Information in part from CUDL)
Note from Ibn al-Maṣmūdī to Abū l-Barakāt (Shelomo b. Eliyyahu?), inviting him to be present in the Palestinian synagogue tomorrow morning לתמאם סנה אלטפלה (a minor fiancee's coming-of-age?), to come to the house together with the Dayyanim, and to prepare for the occasion something for which the writer would be grateful (perhaps a poem). Information from Goitein's note card.
