Lewis-Gibson : Letter

Lewis-Gibson

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter, sent apparently to the Nagid, asking that he instruct Nathan ha-Kohen al-Wakīl in the case of a widow’s financial settlement. The writer seeks to obtain a financial settlement of at least 100 dinars for a widow and her family (her own child, and her maid and maid’s children). The writer insists on payment of 10 months of alimony, payment for expenses incurred during illness, and the right of the window to remain living in her current accommodation.</p>
