Residing at the house numbered 39/73 in the Torah Quarter - Baghdad
Through His Excellency the Notary Public of East Baghdad
After greetings,
We have previously sent you a letter numbered 242 dated February 2, 1949, in which we explained
to you that the house occupied by you, numbered 139/73 located in the Torah Quarter, was previously endowed
to be a clinic for treating the poor and needy, and in view of the urgent need to open and organize this clinic,
we requested you to take measures to vacate this house and hand it over to us at the end of the lease term, i.e., at the end of
Hebrew Nisan 5709.
Since your response has not reached us until now in this regard, we draw your attention to the fact that the term of your
lease for the mentioned house will end at the end of Nisan 5709 by the Hebrew calendar, according to the lease contract
dated May 10, 1948, exchanged between us.
Considering that the leased property is part of the annexed endowments (Waqf) and necessity dictates observing the interest of the endowment, and based
on the provisions of the law exempting endowment properties from the Rent Control Law, we notify you of the obligation to vacate
the leased property upon the expiration of the aforementioned lease contract. In case of your refusal, we will unfortunately be forced to file
a lawsuit against you in the competent courts and hold you liable for court costs and attorney fees, with a daily guarantee of
three hundred and fifty fils for each day the leased property remains occupied by you from the date the contract expires until
the date of vacation, as stated in the third paragraph of the house lease contract mentioned.
Please accept our respect.

His Excellency the President of the Lay Council of the Israelite Community, Respected
Baghdad
After greetings:
Reference to your letter No. 222 dated 14 / 7 / 49.
The period during which the house was occupied after the end of its lease begins from 4 / 4 / 49
and ends on 10 / 6 / 49, and not as stated in your above-mentioned letter.
On this occasion, I would like to point out the condition that the house was in previously regarding the replacement of
the old electrical wires inside the house, as they were very worn out and almost caused
a fire in the house, which forced me to replace them with new electrical wires. This was before the arrival of
your request for evacuation. Since I did not occupy the mentioned house and it remained ⟦illegible⟧ after the furniture was removed
waiting for the inspection of the community committee for its assessment. Below is a copy of the required account:-
Dinar | Fils
12 | 750 Days and labor for replacing the electrical ⟦lines⟧ inside the house
| and the consumption tax for the electricity meter in your name, according to the electricity bills for the sector
- | 500 ending on 9 / 7 / 49
14 | 250 Only fourteen dinars and two hundred and fifty fils, nothing more
Please note that I have made many improvements to the house in past years, the cost of which
amounts to more than ten dinars, for the purpose of saving the house from decay and destruction. I placed a benefit on a car
in the hands of the neighbor whom I had informed at the time because I was afraid of electricity in all the years.
Please inform me of what has been decided regarding the disbursement of the requested amount so that I may take ⟦illegible⟧
the interest of the community.
Please accept my highest respect
Sincerely,
Ismail
Note
Given that the mentioned building is in the custody of
