After greetings:
We request you to accept Mr. Sassoon Houri ⟦...⟧
that the Samarraie Hospital has closed
accepting patients from the community in the second
class as we previously promised to accept
all patients.
Furthermore, I hope if possible to contact
Dr. Al-Samarraie to make special
arrangements for us, and if that is not possible, then to accept
the community's patients instead of less
than second class in terms of prices.
Sincerely,

With reference to your letter No. ⟦2071⟧ on 2 / 7 / 1971
Upon conducting the medical examination by the specialist surgeon in our hospital on the patient
⟦Victoria⟧ Rachel, it was found that she needs an exploratory laparotomy surgery at
the earliest possible time. The patient refused to undergo this operation, so she was provided
with a medical report to that effect.
Please be kind enough to pay an amount of one dinar for
the medical examination fees performed by the specialist doctor, thank you.

To the Honorable Presidency of the Jewish Community
I had requested an examination of
the patient Sarah Daniel by a specialist surgeon
at Dr. Kamal's Hospital. Due to the absence
of both Dr. Saib Shawkat and Kamal Al-Samarrai,
she was referred to Dr. Aziz
Shukri, who gave her some medications.
Since she is suffering from a serious illness
that requires examination by one of the senior surgeons,
I suggest presenting her to Dr. Kadhim Shubbar
to provide his opinion. Thank you.

To the Honorable President of the Jewish Community
With reference to your letter dated 4 / 9 / 1954 regarding the admission of
the patient Habib Shaoul to the hospital, the aforementioned patient was admitted
on 4 / 9 / 1954 and discharged of his own accord on 11 / 9 / 1954
before the required treatment was completed and before finishing all the medications
prescribed to him. We were obliged to hand over the medications belonging to him upon his departure.
I would like to mention that the aforementioned patient was not exemplary in his conduct as a patient, and
his discharge was not at the desire of the hospital or his attending physician.
As such, we enclose with this letter the invoice for the aforementioned patient and the expenses for
accommodation, nursing, and treatment fees; please kindly send them to us.
Please accept our highest regards and respect.
