Dear Mr. Asher,
I have received with thanks your letter of 18th February
in which you mention that Mr. A. Bagley of Birmingham has spoken to
you about the need of my school for English books.
I would like to thank Mr. Bagley for his kind gesture
and I thank you as well for your interest and for the attention you
have given to my school.
Mr. Bagley visited my school while he was in Bagdad
last November. He saw the school library and was kind enough to
tell me that he would try and get some books for us from England
through some of the educational institutions which might have a
surplus of books for contribution.
To give you an idea of the standard of education of
my school, I may tell you that in this school we admit students of
both sexes and of all ages between 6 years and 17 years. Students
start to learn English at the age of 10 and reach, more or less, the
G.C.E. standard at the age of 17.
Any books of educational or cultural value in any
field, except the political field, would be accepted with thanks.
Good novels would interest our students very much.
Thanking you for your cooperation, I close with my
best regards to you.
Sincerely yours

Dear Sir,
I would be very obliged to receive
from you some information about this
matter:-
One of my friends has taken
at your College the Arabic Language
and passed in it in Advanced level
in Summer 1952.
As it is <del>his</del> mother's tongue they
do not accept it in the university as a
subject in Advanced level, and I believe,
if I am right to say, that it has been
arranged by Mr. Khabaza with the
University of London <del>at that time</del> to be accepted
as a subject in Advanced level, although
it is the Mother Tongue.
Please let me know by which
law or how has it been arranged.
Thanking You very much in
anticipation,
I remain
Faithfully Yours
Sasson Hakkak
