been able to secure it even though the lease contract ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ thousand Dinars ⟦illegible⟧

2- The company has not paid the last installment of the rent (425) Dinars despite the passage of

3- ⟦illegible⟧ and Wade submitted a request to lease the shop at the previous rate of 850 Dinars, and the
Property Committee estimated this rate at 850 Dinars
I see it is in the [community's] interest to contract with the new tenant for a period of one year since the company
did not care at all about increasing the rate. Your orders.

I also request to delay the term of the promissory note due on 1 / 3 / 952 for four
months, as the markets in general are stagnant and all goods are sold at a loss. I hope for your approval
