Greetings and longing
I have received the last issue of Al-Bayan (77) of the fourth year rejected, and I do not know if it was from you
or not, because I did not see a signature from you except for the word (rejected). Accordingly, in view of that, I hope you will inform me
about it and give your frank opinion, knowing that Al-Bayan does not like to impose itself on readers.
And you know well what balanced journalism suffers from stumbling in such circumstances, so I hope you will kindly state
your participation for the coming year, as the payment for the past years has arrived. May you remain for those who do not forget you.
Sincerely
Ali al-Khaqani

from 1 / 10 / 51 until 20 / 5 / 1952 (by check number 861) and we paid another 2/- dinars on
