Gentlemen, members of the respected Administrative Committee
After greetings:
I am Sion Saqal Khazma, the sick person living in Torat Zilkha
whom you sent to Mir Elias Hospital, and now
I have been discharged from it while I am in a deplorable state, and I have served the Torat
for some time and requested assistance from His Eminence Rabbi Sassoon
Khedhouri and from your esteemed committee, and the committee decided to give me assistance
amounting to two dinars per month, but this is not enough for the dresser nor to fulfill
my needs, and I rejected it and did not receive it because of its smallness, as this
is not enough for me at all, so for this reason I ask you to take
the opinion of His Eminence Rabbi Sassoon Khedhouri on that and increase my allocations
because I am in great need
The Petitioner
Sion Saqal Khazma
Disburse to him

But for reasons unknown to me, those allowances were cancelled ⟦illegible⟧ I will say ⟦illegible⟧ effectively ⟦illegible⟧
I inform you that the will of the deceased stipulates the necessity of ⟦illegible⟧ three rabbis for their pure
souls, and since there are now only two rabbis reciting for their souls, there remains in this
case the necessity for the third rabbi's recitation, a ceremony I previously performed, with
the knowledge that the allowances for the two mentioned rabbis are paid by Mr. Saleh Shamoun, and the third is paid
by the community administration, as a portion of the deceased's endowment income is used by the community administration to build
the school in Kirkuk. Therefore, based on what I have explained, please kindly order the reinstatement of the
mentioned allowances to me, which were cancelled since the first of May 1952. To your Excellency, much gratitude and respect.
