Image is of a light grey background, on which a long thing document appears. It is written in New Persian in Arabic script, black ink on a light background - the photography is probably black and white and is not high resolution so it is hard to make out the detail. There are fold lines and staining identifiable.
Read this and more fascinating letters in our sixth launch of the Invisible East Digital Corpus today. Get a glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary people, including workplace rivalries and boss–employee politics!
