2 - The fees are six dinars for the course, to be paid in advance, and no free students will be accepted.
3 - The student is responsible for all sewing supplies, including raw materials, fabrics, etc... and the school

After greetings,
We wish to present to your Excellency that the girl named Budour (Badriya) daughter of Hayu, aged
fourteen years, who works as a maid in the house of Mr. Ibrahim Moshi Khalaschi in Al-Kifl sub-district, has
left her employer's house around ten-thirty on the morning of Saturday, 10/11/51
and has not returned. Since the aforementioned has no family and in view of her minor age, the presidency of this community requests
your Excellency to kindly order a search for her, noting that the description of the missing person has been listed by
the competent authorities in Al-Kifl sub-district based on a report made by her employer on 10/11/951.
Please accept, your Excellency, the assurances of our highest respect.

To the presence of the honorable, glorious, and respected Mr. Eliyahu Ezra Khedhouri
After offering the obligatory greetings and much respect, we inquire about your well-being, and as for us, praise be to God.
Furthermore, we inform your presence that the son of Badriya Habu's side, who was with us, Ibrahim Moshi, has died
in Kifl after I received him and he entered my house for one night, and this is because he was possessed.
After conducting examinations and an inspection, nothing noteworthy appeared on his body, and he was buried in the religion of Islam despite us.
Since Ibrahim Moshi has with him about one hundred dinars along with a gold bracelet, a watch, clothes,
and other things, and the deceased Ibrahim had donated the payment of the money and other things, knowing that he had received
his due from Habu, as for the rest of the money and other things he has,
I hope from your kindness that you would be so good as to instruct Ibrahim Moshi to pay all the money he has
and other things, and then whatever is appropriate for you to spend on charitable works, as he has now become in God's protection
and my protection. Convey our greetings to Mr. Nassim and all the children, and urge Hajj Nuri
to accept your greetings, and I await the answer quickly with the document.

We extend to you our sincere greetings and best wishes. We inform you that this week's schedule
A letter has arrived at the Governorate of Amara Liwa from the Directorate General for the Supervision of the Property of Minors
whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked, attached with a copy of the Council of Ministers' decision regarding the endowments
of the community in this Liwa, regarding the necessity of seizing them and considering them ⟦considering⟧ frozen, provided that it is taken
into consideration that the butcher's field established for the necessity of freezing it was only due to the confusion occurring in
the matter that had questioned their Iraqi citizenship. We inform you that we know that the house
registered in the municipality was vacated in the year 1948 and there has been no house since that date
rather, the person present was the acting head of the community only, and he manages all affairs here,
the rent for the school belonging to the endowment has not been received since the rent was placed on it until now
just as the school and the rest of the properties, if their rents were collected, their revenue would be about
15 Dinars. Also, the amounts spent on repairing the school which is under testing
were not recovered; rather, the hope was to arrange them upon receiving the rent. At the same time,
certain persons here have notified the poor who have community assistance that there are some poor people
from the residents of Amara in need of your assistance and support for themselves, and that it is necessary
to take the case into consideration and follow up with the responsible departments in this regard. Please accept our sincere
greetings and peace
