Your letter No. SC / 699/35.
And further to our letter No. T/52/2323 dated 2/14/1952. In view of the end of the deportation
for which the Mas'uda Shemtob Synagogue was a headquarters, the expenditures in the past month did not exceed two Dinars
and two hundred and forty Fils, and it will be much less in the current month, which clearly shows
the sufficiency of the amount of insurance deposits held by your department, amounting to five Dinars.
Please accept our highest respect.

and there is no need to add additional insurance.
