Arabic letter

Letters
Description: 
Arabic letter, divided into two parts, apparently: The upper part, of which only the last line was left, concerns perhaps a dispute between the writer and the addressees; the lower part, of which a few lines were left, is addressed to "our beloved daughter, Sarah", and continues with wishes for her good health and informing her of the writers' good health and their yearning to see her. The letter is written in semi-colloquial Arabic.
