Greetings.
Reference to your letter No. 53286 dated 11/29/1961.
Please be informed that the administration of this school is exerting its efforts in classifying and categorizing the books present
in its library, and that this requires a long time, especially since this library is the product of several libraries
of closed schools. We have previously provided Mr. Hadi al-Jamali and Mr. Saleh Saeed, who conducted
an inventory of the library's books, with lists containing all the library's books during the past summer vacation.
Nevertheless, the school administration is now conducting a second inventory of all the school's books and destroying what is unfit
for reading, either due to the lack of some torn pages in these books or due to their lack of agreement
with the students' interests in general. Therefore, a portion of the books has been destroyed, including the books mentioned
in your letter above with sequence (1, 2, 3). As for the book (⟦illegible⟧), we will deliver it
to the Directorate of Private Education in the Office of the Ministry of Education as per your request.
