19th century, Touba, Senegal
Impassioned letter by Muḥammad al-Amīn Suwaré in Touba sent to his son Suwaré Kunda who was in Medina (Saudi Arabia), that he was to give to Fūdī ʿUmar Sāma, requesting the return of his book.

Suwaré had lent the book titled Nafḥ al-Ṭayyib to Fūdī so that he could copy it,
but the latter had not returned the book after repeated letters and was now apparently asking for payment for its return.
Suwaré asks his son to get this book back to him ‘quickly, quickly, quickly’, angrily remarking ‘I would never agree to buy my own book!’.
He fumes against Fūdī, saying he is a man of no religion
The two scholars' names; Suwaré and Fūdī indicate they belong to some of the most prominent scholarly groups in west Africa; the Jakhanke and the Torodbe

Definitely nabbing this source for a video in the future. This is hilarious.
