Description
Fragmentary letter in hieratic, with one column and ten lines in black on recto, and one line and two columns of address on verso also in black; there is no space for ( ) in the address as the fragments are currently mounted, suggesting that at least two more lines of text on the recto may need to be restored as missing; extremely damaged by insect-holes, and worn along fold-lines.
