To the Chairman of the Administrative Committee
of the Jewish Community in Baghdad, Respectfully
With reference to the lawsuit regarding the Priests' Cemetery.
On June 27, 1955, I received an advance of ten dinars on account of inspection expenses,
car fees, and others. From this amount, (5.140) dinars were spent, and (4.860) dinars
remain with me. Now it is necessary to pay fees of (4.800) dinars as additional fees for the committee
that will attend to hear the evidence locally. Besides that, it is necessary to pay car fees and other
miscellaneous expenses.
Therefore, I request your order to grant me a second advance of ten dinars. After the end of the lawsuit,
I will submit a list detailing the expenses incurred. This is for your excellency's order - October 17, ⟦955⟧
