Subject: The process of digging ⟦and filling⟧ graves in the old cemetery
In view of the Mayoralty of the Capital digging public trenches for the past 15 days
penetrating the old cemetery and the appearance of further quantities of bones, and in view of the arrangements
taken by us to secure their collection and burial in special bags instead of wooden
boxes and burying them, and as this requires expenses for this purpose, we request
ordering the disbursement of an advance in the amount of one hundred dinars, provided that we submit receipts
for its expenditure upon completion.
For your information and order, with respect.
