Dear Sir:-
I am in receipt of your letter enclosing copy of a letter d/-
23rd. June 1941, addressed to the Official Trustee of Bengal.
I had seen Mr: Moore and discussed the matter with him. He
has agreed to accept the recommendations contained in your letter
except so far as the surplus money is concerned. There will be a
surplus as interest has accumulated and the Scrips are higher in price
now. He has decided to give the entire surplus to the Menahem Saleh
Daniel Elementary School for Girls. I trust this will be satisfactory
to you.
I had in this connection sent you a cable d/- 24th. July 1941
reading as follows :-
"Official Trustee accepted your recommendation
except surplus given to Girls School. Money
being remitted Consul General for payment to
respective Institutions".
I had also sent Mr: Laniado a cable in reply to his cable
reading as follows :-
"Trustee accepted recommendations except
surplus for Girls School. Baghdad informed".
The cost of the cables are Rs. 10/- and Rs. 6/8/- respectively and the
Air Mail charges for this letter and a similar letter to Mr: Laniado
are together Rs. 2/2/- totalling Rs. 18/10/- (Rupees Eighteen and
annas Ten only) due to me.
Kindly remit me this amount and oblige.
Yours sincerely,

Rev. Sir,
I beg to inform you that I have received a telegram from M⟦e⟧.D.J.Cohen of Calcutta
reading as follows:- TRUSTEE ACCEPTED RECOMMENDATIONS EXCEPT SURPLUS FOR GIRLS SCHHOL
BAGHDAD INFORMED.- COHEN . This was a reply to a telegram I sent to him.
I understand that you have also received a telegram giving you the same
details and am realy astonished why you have n<del>o</del>t informed me the content of your cable
in due time in order to decide the matter together.
I do not know if you have already answered the cable of Mr. Cohen and what
have you proposed to him.
Mr. Cohen did not mention the reason of not accepting the recommendation of
the 7000.- Ruppes devoted to the Menahem Saleh Daniel School for Girls,it may be for the
reason that the Institution is not an old one and it has been established only a short
time before <del>that</del> the death of the Testator or approximately at the death of the Testator
and it may be that the Trustee does not like to give small amount which will be spent
immediately without keeping anything in memory of the deceased..
Now you have to send a cable to the official Trustee with reference to the
cable received from Mr. Cohen proposing that the surplus be divided among the other
Institutions recommended and accepted asking in the same cable to remit you the sum by
airmail.
You have also to send a similar cable to Mr.David J . . Cohen , 6 Mangoelahe
proposing the same proposal that the surplus of about 7000<del>0</del>-/ (seven thousand Rupees)
be divided propotionally among the other instituions .
The cheques and the receipts in question will be forwarded to the British
Consul to be delivered to you.
I hope that you have already cabled to the Official Trustee and to
Mr. Cohen and you have already thought about this solution yourselves.If this is so
you have only to urge the matter by sending always cables to Mr. Cohen and to the Trustee
as we have done in the matter of Jerusalem.
From the date of my return here,I am in bed as I am suffering of an
attack of rheumatism and cannot leave my house. The whole this time I could not go to
my Office.This week I am better and I hope to go to my office very shortly.
My best regards to Our friend Mr. Menashe Saleh,to Ezra Eff.Menahem

Baghdad on July 31, 1941
His Excellency the President of the Jewish Lay Council in Baghdad, Respected
Greetings. -
It is not hidden from your Excellency the great charitable work that our association
"Ozre Dalim" has been and still is performing in aiding and assisting the needy and the poor among the members of our community
in Baghdad, especially those families afflicted by time in their livelihood and who cannot extend
their hands to beg or ask for charity; dozens, rather hundreds of these families have been and still are
receiving weekly assistance from our association as allowed by its financial resources, which consist -
primarily of subscriptions from some benefactors among the members of our community.
However, the grave catastrophe that befell the members of the community during the unfortunate events of June 1 and 2,
1941, has doubled the responsibility placed on our association for two reasons.
First - because this great catastrophe added hundreds more families to the list of those in need
of urgent assistance, as they were stricken in their livelihoods and lost all the worldly possessions they owned.
Second - because a large number of our association's subscribers, upon whose help we relied, were themselves stricken and looted
and became in need of assistance from our association, which greatly increased our moral
and material responsibility.
Therefore, we have sent this letter to your Excellency on the occasion of the arrival of Indian donations, requesting that you take into account
the status of our association, which you must surely consider one of the oldest charitable institutions serving the community,
and allocate a sufficient amount to it so that it may continue performing its important service to society.
Awaiting the decision of your esteemed council on this matter, please accept my abundant thanks and respect.

Dear Sir
I beg to inform you that I have cabled last week twice to Calcutta
to Mr. David J. Cohen regarding the Fund of the late R.A.Gubbay and asked
him to expedite the remittance of the bequest to Baghdad. I reply to my
cables I received yesterday the following cable from Mr.D.J.Cohen :-
" Advocate Meir Laniado, Jerusalem. Your cables received. Delay owing
Reserve Bank permission refused,as Iraq not now entered Sterling Block.
Bank expects entry later. Signed : David J.Cohen.
It is clear from the above cable that a special permit is necessary
to be obtained from the Reserve Bank of India who is the authorised dealer
appointed by the government of India to grant such permission,on behalf of
Controller of Foreign Exchange .
Here in Palestine too,a special permission is necessary to transfer
any sum of money to Baghdad,and I suppose that such permission could be
obtained from the government of India.
In my opinion the best way to get a special permission is to have
a recommendation from the British Ambassador of your city explaining the
object of this money which is devoted for charity to the Jewish Institutions
of your city. I suppose it would not be difficult for your Community to
obtain such a recommendation,as otherwise all your institutions would not be able
able to continue their existence,so the Community has to act very promptly
Yours faithfully

I applied to the Exchange Control Department, Reserve Bank of

Remittance to Bagdad.
With reference to your letter No.9994 of the 13th. instant,
we have to advise that even though a rupee cheque would be issued by
you this would involve a remittance of foreign exchange from India and
as Iraq is outside the sterling area, application for permission ⟦should⟧
properly have been made through an authorised dealer in foreign ⟦line⟧
exchange.
2. Please note that the present regulations do not allow the
remittance as the transaction constitutes a transfer of capital to a
non-sterling area country. It is, however, probable that at a later
date Iraq will be readmitted to the sterling bloc and we suggest that
you should postpone for the present the distribution of the assets
under the will. Meanwhile we would be prepared to allow remittance ⟦of⟧
income of the Trust.
Yours faithfully,
