His Excellency the Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Community, Respected After greetings, Sir, I am the undersigned, Shaul Habib Ruhi, regarding the matter of the broken dinars, which was reported, and subsequently a lawsuit was registered at the Al-Amara Police Station. Afterwards, they requested the presence of Rabbi Daoud at the police station because he was the one who refused us and tasked us with building a structure so that I could receive a stipend for the poor man, but Rabbi Daoud did not agree to go to the Al-Amara Police Station. After that, he came to me saying that ⟦he wants⟧ to give me 10 ten dinars so that the lawsuit would be dropped. Sir, they recorded it as an advance, but these ten dinars are what is owed for the losses, damages, and expenses of my work which they completed, and he made it into installments for me. I hope for your help for any request, as I have a family of 8 people. Therefore, I ask for mediation in my case, and may the years return to you ⟦with goodness⟧. May you remain well. The Petitioner Shaul Habib Ruhi Residing in Torat Zilkha 5 / 7 / 1945 ⟦Thumbprint⟧ That Shaul Habib Ruhi mentioned above deserves assistance, and we support what is stated in this petition because he is a poor man with a family and children. ⟦illegible signature⟧ Date ⟦...⟧ / 7 / 1945 Inspection Committee Statement of Opinion ⟦illegible⟧ Number ⟦...⟧ / 7 / 1945 ⟦illegible blue ink text⟧ ⟦illegible blue ink text⟧ ⟦illegible blue ink text⟧
