His Excellency the Deputy President of the Jewish Community in Baghdad, the Respected
After greetings
Your servant intends to travel to ⟦England⟧ as my passport is English and my funds
are pressured and I have not been able to pay even a single fils for the divorce fee for my son Salim
and it is not possible for my wife to remain a side under ⟦distress⟧ of imprisonment because she is Iraqi and since
I have proof names I need two guarantors, so I plead for the order to be given
to Rabbi Salman to look into the ⟦act⟧ of divorce so that she does not remain a
prisoner wife and we thank you in advance and may you remain with respect, sir
