of the two months, as I am
going to Europe and have to
spend about three weeks time
only for my way there and
back. Another important point
in this question is that the whole
leave will be at the same travel-
expenses, which are, as you know
very high. From the other side I am
sure that these three weeks will
in no way affect the Hospital's work
as it is still the hot season and
the increased Hospital's work starts
<del>only</del> usually in October.
I would like to beginn with
my leave at the end of this
month i. m. on the 28th of Juin 1936.
In anticipation of your
favourable reply
I am yours

It was decided by order of the committee in its session on
20/6/936 to grant her the requested leave (see the decision)

is not obliged to give any account about them to
the First Party .
11.         The Second Party undertakes not to open a
private clinic or to work in any other private
clinic outside the hospital .
12.         If either of the contracting Parties does

Dear Sir,
I beg to request you that the arrangements which were in force before my getting the licence to be still valid and that the 25% proposed to be taken out of the income from the treatment of patients outside the Hospital to remain my sole property. The reasons set forth below will justify my statement:-
1. The Committee did not make it possible for me to work and earn from outside the Hospital nor did the Committee help in any way to get me the licence which I did obtain through my own and sole efforts.
2. According to previous arrangements between the Committee and myself, the Committee was to pay half the cost of the licence fee, which was not done and I paid the whole amount, out of my own pocket.
3. The salary which I am now getting, viz: I.Ds 10/000 per month is not worth to be called a salary fit for a Doctor, taking into consideration the strenuous work and such heavy responsibilities as devolving upon me day and night.
4. My work in the Hospital is gratuitous altogether as it is by the examination fees, deliveries, female operations, and the admission into the Hospital of private patients that come through me that the Hospital can meet its expenses and lay something by.

Presented for the Committee's review in several successive sessions, and finally in
the session held on 11/7/1945, it was decided to postpone consideration until the
expiration of the current doctor's contract, as there is no benefit in resuming correspondence
in this regard, as it was deemed best to keep the situation as it is now
without any change, provided that it be reconsidered when a new contract is signed
for another term after the expiration of her current contract.

Dear Sir,
I have to invite a reference to your letter
of the 12th Sept. 1933, in which you offer me an employment
at the Hospital.
You will note that your letter to me bears the
clear address of "Dr. Sonia Tokar" and the content thereof
clearly states that I was engaged to work as a Doctor;
whereas on my arrival in Baghdad since November last I was
given to understand that in view of certain formalities
I am unable to practice my profession freely here and
work is officially limited to that of a nurse.
Needless to say that I was graduated as Doctor
in 1925 and have practiced my profession ever since.
In these circumstances I consider it a great misfortune
to me to be compelled to limit my work in the manner above
stated, this not only as regards my capacity as a Doctor,
but it would, I am sure, reflect badly on 1) my future,
2) the income that I expect to derive in practicing my
profession freely as I hoped.
I shall be very grateful therefore if you will
be kind enough to give my request, with regard to my
position as a Doctor your very serious and urgent consi-
deration. Let me have your answer in writing at an early
date, which I hope would be favourable.
If desired, I would very much like to interview
the Committee and discuss the matter.
