Brother Saad Al-Tikriti
Everything I say to you is not enough
I have sent you a letter and entrusted you
with the dantelle and the poetic flowers and the hand and the gloves
and according to the model, and it should be something beautiful
and not messy, the dantelle should be long and the flowers
on the hand should have branches coming down on the dress or as you see fit
the important thing is don't be afraid, when you come I will give the cost
to you, don't be stingy with your sister; as for the dress
the gift you promised me, I don't want it, so don't be afraid
I hope you send me these things with the first person
who comes, and if you cannot, tell me so I do not rely on you, thank you
Rafida Jamil
