23 / 12 / 1947 His Eminence Rabbi Sassoon Khedhouri, President of the Jewish Community, Respected, Baghdad Presented to your Eminence by the petitioner Issachar bin Ibrahim, a subject of the Imperial Iranian State and one of the Jewish immigrants who came to Iraq a long time ago, holding the Iranian nationality book numbered 17435 and dated in the year 1314 Solar, and the Iranian passport book numbered 27814 / 2988 and dated 317 Solar, both issued by the Imperial Iranian Consulate in Baghdad. Since I am not proficient in the Iranian language, reading, or writing, during registration at the consulate referred to above, my name was recorded in the nationality book and passport by mistake; instead of recording Yissa- char, they recorded Isa Khan. Since there are witnesses and evidence that my name is Issachar, please issue your high orders to grant me a certificate of testimony to correct my name so that I may submit it to the Iranian Consulate in Baghdad, and thereby correct my name in the consulate's records. In conclusion, the matter is yours, sir. The Petitioner Issachar We, the undersigned witnesses, testify that the person whose photograph is in this petition, his real name is Issachar bin Ibrahim and not his name Isa Khan bin Ibrahim as shown above in his petition.
