Greetings.
The person named Kadhim Makki is a guard for us who receives a monthly
salary of ten dinars and is obligated to protect the Frank Iny School day and night and was not
provided with a weapon by us or by the police. Therefore, given our urgent need to protect
our school by the aforementioned guard, and given that he is of good character and
conduct, we have provided him with this document in order to obtain a pistol license for him for protection.
Please accept our highest respect.

Dear Sirs,
In reply to your letter dated January, 14th, 1954
concerning Mr. Thomas A. Curtin, I would like to inform you
that it is only since January, 1952 that I assumed my present
post as principal of the Frank Iny & Shamash Schools when Mr.
Curtin was not in my employ at the time. It is in September
1952 that I came to know him personally when I gave him employ-
ment as a lecturer in English for the whole of the academic year
Sept. 1952 - Sept. 1953. In this capacity Mr. Curtin proved quite
satisfactory. His salary for this period was ID.40/- per month.
He left his job of his own free will.
the
From the records available to me at school I can confirm
that Mr. Curtin worked for a number of years as a teacher in the
Shamash School since 1940 and that his work as such was quite
satisfactory.
Hoping that this information will prove useful to you, I
beg to remain.
Very truly yours
⟦signature⟧
Abdullah S. Obadiah.
Principal.

Greetings,
There are three electricity meters in this school, and the total
electricity consumption of this school during the past months
averaged 240 units per month. Now, it appeared as a result of the
last bill for the month of December 953 that one of these meters numbered
387531 reached a consumption of 689 units, while its consumption in
previous months did not exceed 65 units per month, which indicates
the occurrence of a defect in the mentioned meter. Therefore, please inspect the meter and correct
the bill numbered 12/44355/53 dated 22/12/53 in a way
proportionate to the consumption totaling 65 units for the previous
months. Please accept our highest respect.
