and pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 58 of the Minors' Property Management Law, this
Presidency supports the nomination of Mr. Selim Ishaq Abu al-Nil to be appointed as a guardian for the mentally incapacitated

fitness, and capability to manage the affairs and interests of the aforementioned mentally incapacitated person.
Please accept our highest respect.

Further to our letter No. 55 / Sh dated 8/4/1955
The woman Tufaha bint Sion Abdullah Azouri visited this court requesting to be relieved of her appointment
as guardian over her mentally disabled son Na'im bin Sassoon Munshi Matana. Whereas the statement submitted by
the Mukhtar of the Battaween neighborhood dated 8/28/1955 nominates the named Salim Ishaq Abu al-Neil as guardian
over the aforementioned, as he is a man of good standing, good character, and capable of being
a guardian over him, therefore please cancel our aforementioned letter insofar as it relates to nominating Tufaha as guardian over her son
and inform us of your opinion on appointing Salim Ishaq Abu al-Neil as guardian over the mentally disabled Na'im based on the second
paragraph of Article (58) of the Minors' Property Management Law.

Please refer to our file number
To - The Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
Based on the statement submitted by the Mukhtar of the Al-Bataween neighborhood dated 3 / 8 / 1955, which states that the individual
Naeem son of Sassoon Munshi Matana is mentally incapacitated and suffers from mental illnesses and is unable to manage his own affairs
and there is no one to manage his affairs as his father Sassoon Munshi Ezra is unconscious and also ill.
Therefore, it has become necessary to place the aforementioned Naeem under interdiction and appoint a legal guardian for him. Since the mentioned statement supports the appointment of Naeem's mother
Tuffaha daughter of Zion Abdullah Azouri because she is capable of being a guardian over him and she is of good standing
and of good character and morals.
Therefore, please inform us of your opinion regarding the appointment of the aforementioned woman as a guardian over her son Naeem, based
on the second paragraph of Article (58) of the Minors' Property Administration Law.
