Greetings,
With reference to your marginal note on the petition of the teacher Isaac Moussa Cohen, the Administrative
Committee decided in its session held on 1/3/1954 to approve the disbursement of 15.000 Dinars
as assistance to the aforementioned teacher, to be paid to him on the occasion of his wife's childbirth, provided that the document is submitted to
the chairmanship of the committee after her delivery for the disbursement of the mentioned amount.

⟦To the Presidency of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Community⟧
⟦Respectfully⟧
⟦Administration of Frank Iny School⟧
After greetings,
It has been the custom that an employee relies on his salary, and the married employee
receives from the school throughout the month and is entitled to assistance in case of illness or otherwise.
The community has since ancient times performed what is required for that, and it is not hidden from your presidency
when the management of Meir Elias Hospital was managed by the community, and since
my wife is pregnant and she is ⟦near⟧ giving birth, in addition to the fact that I always complain about the burden, which
made me spend from my ⟦savings⟧ monthly for doctors, medicines, and what is necessary.
It was decided, moreover, that my salary is hardly enough for the hospital fees at birth,
and this is what put me in financial distress. Therefore, I have come with this petition of mine, hoping for the allocation of an amount
or the payment of hospital and birth fees as it was previously and as is done for employees
at this time, and to you much thanks.
⟦Anwar Moussa Cohen⟧
Teacher at Frank Iny Intermediate School
To be referred by receipt to the Presidency of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
to look into the matter and grant the request if possible, noting that
teachers in the community schools used to enjoy discounts
not to be underestimated in hospital fees when Meir
Elias Hospital was open.
