To the honorable and virtuous Professor Edmond Aoun - Beirut
Greetings,
I have received your letter from Beirut dated July 10, 1957, and I regret to inform you
that I will not be able to spend the summer in Lebanon this year due to the heavy workload.
As for the possibility of your employment at our school next year, it is not possible
at the present time because there is no vacancy at the school for the coming year.
May God grant you success in your endeavors.
Please convey my greetings to your father, and please accept my ⟦sincere⟧ greetings to you. Best regards.

The honorable and zealous educator, Director of the Frank Aini Institute ⟦...⟧
I am pleased to offer you the warmest greetings and most sincere
heartfelt sentiments, praying to God Almighty to bless
your times and crown all your endeavors with success, prosperity, and guidance.
Furthermore, I have come with this letter of mine, may God honor you,
in response to your desire to contact you regarding this academic year
if there is an opportunity to deliberate with you regarding the matter of teaching at
your flourishing institute. My active student, the rising young man
Latif Houri, whom you know, informed me that he wishes to contact you
in this regard because he prefers that I teach at your place instead of elsewhere.
A copy of the certificate's image is still in your possession.
I recall that you mentioned in your previous letter last
year that you intended this year to come to Lebanon to spend
the summer season in these regions.
If you wish to come, please mention a word in your message
and the hotel where you will be staying so that I may have the honor of meeting
your excellency and discussing the matter thoroughly. This is if you are ⟦truly⟧
in agreement with that.
I conclude my lines with a prayer to the Almighty Lord
to guide your steps toward what is good for the youth and humanity
as a whole; indeed, God is All-Hearing, All-Answering.

Respected Professor Abdullah Houbia,
After greetings and respect, I am pleased that you have ⟦some time⟧ for me
to write this letter through which I can convey to you
our greetings. I am pleased to introduce myself at the beginning as coming from
one of your former students whom you met and trusted when
you were in Beirut. I am Latif Houri, who went with you
to the American University when you met with Mr. Qusay. I believe
this reference is sufficient to identify me to you.
I have received a letter from Mr. Ezra Nouri,
the father of Samir, one of your students in the sixth grade, who asked me
to contact his son's teacher when he was in Beirut. Since he
learned from you that there is a vacancy for a teacher.
I am pleased on this occasion to introduce you to Mr.
Edmond Kon, who will reach you via a letter from him, as he is
one of my friends in Beirut. When I consulted Mr. Kon
in this regard, he showed a desire to travel to Baghdad and
he liked the idea, especially since the school is one of our schools
and is known to him for its activity. Therefore, he sent to Mr.
So I followed the teaching profession and practiced it for about
fifteen years, and I was appointed to the ⟦examination⟧ committees
official ⟦...⟧ and therefore I am ready, by this proxy, to
teach in your institute the Arabic and French languages,
primary and secondary, and there is no way now to praise myself
how much I master these two languages in all their branches.
My request to you, upon receipt of my letter, is to send
me a word informing me about the working hours and the conditions
required, so that I can prepare to go immediately ⟦line⟧
This, and please accept, sir, the assurance of my highest respect
