To the honorable and virtuous Mr. Nissim Kadoorie, respected
I offer you greetings and salutations from the depths of my heart, and thereafter I represent to you that you know
that my financial situation is very poor, and for some time there has been a shortage of work, and in these days
I worked at the Jewish school named Nuriel, and after I had been there for a short time
the wise man elected by your presence and by the council dismissed me and said to me: we are not in need
of you, and he dismissed me. Afterwards I went to the director and he said to me: in this situation
we know nothing of your matter. Afterwards I went to the official who was in Hamam al-Malih at that
time, and he said to me: you are from the Jewish school, and after I entered that school he dismissed me.
Then I requested from them a paper stating that you were working in this school, and I asked the director of the school
and he did not agree to give it to me. Therefore I beseech your presence to help me with this paper
from the school.

Dear Shalom Effendi.
After greetings - I have completed the printing of the National Defense Law and its supplements
twice. As well as the accounting lists and the school examination system.
So I hope you will kindly pay the amount of one and a half Dinars for my efforts.
Note that the mentioned amount is much less than what I should receive
given the large amount of work and the significant time lost on it.
We thank you in advance.
Sincerely

After inquiring after his well-being as is fitting. I am writing to inform you that Mr. David Reuben Salman Ha-Kohen has traveled to Baghdad
for his business, and in his hand is a certificate of poverty from the Rabbinate here, and he asked me to recommend him before
your excellency so that they may grant him a discount and lower the passport fee for him, for he is poor and needy
and burdened with children and has no ability to pay the passport fee in full. Therefore, I request of your excellency
that you act with him in kindness and mercy and lower the price of the passport for him as you see fit. And peace.
