Greetings.
Reference to your letter No. 9 / 1 / 8310 dated 4 / 29 / 1956.
Since the studies in our school actually began at the start of the school year on
October 10 / 955 instead of mid-September due to the religious holidays which
ended on 10 / 9 / 1955, this resulted in some delay in completing the subjects of
History and Geography for the third intermediate grade. The remaining part of the history curriculum
which we are unable to complete before the final exam is the history of Iraq in
the Ottoman era (i.e., the first chapter only). As for the Geography lesson, what remains of it
is North Africa.
Please accept our highest respect.
