My dear Rabbi Sassoon,
I hope you will look into what the relatives of
Mr. Daoud Haywan are reporting, I mean his brother's wife, and that what the Rabbi told him has
upset him very much, and he did not want to mention them and spoke with them, but I see ⟦for confirmation⟧
this is something from you to ⟦remedy⟧ the matter and make the woman understand what needs to be done
and for this I thank you. Sincerely, Sassoon

The Honorable Ibrahim Hayyim Effendi Yaqub Rahmin, respected
After greetings and respect, your cousin Menashi Hesqel Hayyim and the widow of your other cousin Shaul
with her orphaned children came to me and informed me that your Excellency had donated to these two families a sum of one thousand two hundred rupees
annually for more than 12 years to assist them in life. And that in recent days they received news
from your place in Bombay stating that this amount will be cut off from them starting from this year.
The aforementioned are all poor and needy people who have no one to rely on for assistance other than
your Excellency, and they have asked me to explain their condition and seek your compassion to have mercy on them and order the continuation
of paying the amount as before, and this is not far from your chivalry and generosity ⟦...⟧
May you remain a help to the poor. Hoping that you will not reject my request, and I thank you in advance.

After greetings and respect,
I received with great pleasure the Silver Jubilee book issued by
the committee of (Kahn Holden School x Menachem Salih Daniel) on the occasion of the passing of twenty-
five years since the founding of this prosperous school.
The brilliant Kahn institution has served the Israeli youth
throughout a quarter of a century and will remain through the years an eternal memory for His Excellency
your generous father and for your beloved person's sincere zeal and benevolent hands
upon this community. May God preserve him and preserve you and grant you success in what is always good.
Hoping from the heart that permanent success be the ally of this

With my heartfelt wishes,
Sincerely,
