To Mr. Naji Yaqub Bashiri
Employee at the Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
Your three sons ⟦Bashir, Munir, and...⟧ have previously committed, on various occasions, incorrect actions toward teachers
and the principal of Frank Iny School during the last academic year, which forced the teachers' council of the aforementioned school to impose
the penalty of expulsion from that school for a full academic year on Bashir, and another penalty was imposed on
⟦...⟧ who attends the College of Engineering by the deanship of that college at the time for his bad behavior and conduct.
Undoubtedly, you are aware of what these three did on Saturday, 12 / 24 / 1960, and at other
times prior to that date, of verbal abuse on the road toward the principal of Frank Iny School, Mr. Abdullah
Obadia, without any justifiable reason for it.
And as such disgraceful acts affect the dignity of our community in general and disrupt the administrative system in our institutions in particular,
the Administrative Committee has decided to warn you as the primary person responsible for your sons who are still
under your care and guidance. For the committee considers the occurrence of reprehensible behavior from your sons as being issued
with your consent as their guardian, and requests you to guide your sons to refrain from such reprehensible behavior in
the future. Furthermore, the Administrative Committee, in participation with others responsible for managing the community's institutions,
will be forced to take the necessary measures with the responsible official authorities against whichever of your sons commits
any disruptive act of this kind in the future, out of concern for the interest of the community members and its institutions.
