Cairo Genizah : Letter

Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Part of a letter requesting (probably financial) help from someone addressed as ‘my lord’: the writer asks for something to be sent to him through his sister’s husband. He complains that his expenditure is increasing and makes reference to ‘more than an Egyptian dinar’. A number of names and titles are given, including ‘the son of the Gaʾon זצ״ל’, Samuel ha-Kohen and Nathaniel he-Ḥaver. </p>
