Baghdad on 15 / 10 / 1952 To: The Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad Greetings Mr. Ismail, the tenant of Khan al-Shorja belonging to the community, has approached us requesting a statement regarding the truth of the (50/0) dinars remaining from the promissory note dated 20 / 8 / 1951 whose value is (150/0 dinars), and to clarify that truth we state the following:- 1- When Mr. Ismail leased the aforementioned property, which includes a Khan and several shops attached to it, ⟦illegible⟧ one of those shops was seized, and lifting the freeze on it took some time, which caused the tenant direct damage that he estimated to be more than the remaining amount of the aforementioned promissory note shown above. 2- The aforementioned tenant approached the Presidency of the Community at the time requesting compensation for the mentioned damage by writing off the remaining amount shown above - amounting to fifty dinars - at least. 3- Since the writing off of any debt to the collection office is a matter for the General Council, and considering the Council's preoccupation at that time - for known reasons - this matter remained pending. In any case, the community's services combined at the time write off the mentioned amount for what befell him. With respect. Salim Lwi The Lawyer Shaul Mu'allim
