Summary

This is a fragment of a portion of a letter written to David Berlin (cut off beyond the lines of salutation prose); this item may have been separated by Berlin so as to prepare the letter text for publication or dissemination (Berlin likely wished to edit these lines from being released as they consist of prose). The writing and the use of a professional scribe may suggest that the letter was originally of correspondence from community dignitaries (such as the parnassim).
