Summary | Recto contains the beginning of a letter in which the basmalla is lost, but which contains well-known opening letterformulae in the first line, informing the addressee that the sender's family is well ('[I wrote] my letter to you, may God support you, while those with me [are in good health]'). The sender requests that the addressee does something immediately ('the moment that [you receive this letter of mine]') and mentions a third person. |
