1,300-Year-Old Heartfelt Letter Between Family Members Found in Iranian Cave
A leather writing from a brother to his sister of the late Sassanid era (224–651 AD) was discovered in Hastijan, Iran. The content of the letter includes the brother's best-wishes to his sister, and requesting the return of the oil (bottle) that he had given to her.
"Morwarid, dear sister, may the gods make her happier, happiness be upon my sister."
"I sent you a bottle of oil. Write me a letter about your and Farrokhzad's well-being and comfort, and you can be sure about me and my children's wellness."
"Send the oil soon."
