Cairo Genizah : Letter; note

Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Recto: letter asking a woman to lend her draperies for a special occasion. The owner of the draperies is described as lending out curtains and other hangings regularly, for others to decorate their homes with them. The fabrics were apparently originally part of the woman’s bridal bedding outfit. The letter ends by asking whether Abū l-Maḥāsin has arrived. </p>
