Cairo Genizah : Letter

Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Beautiful letter of friendship sent by a man from Tunisia to his friend in Egypt. The recipient had ordered a Torah scroll and books, but the writer was reluctant to send them at the end of the seafaring season since they might suffer water damage. He says that he had not neglected the matter, but would have it done at his leisure during the winter. The address on verso has been lost.</p>
