Greetings and Respect,
The management of Meir Elias Hospital had received sterilization materials and other items for use in the hospital during
the year 1950 from the shop of Down Bros and Mayer & Phelps in London, and the value of these materials reached 600 / 10 / 11 pounds as
noted from the attached copy of the aforementioned shop's letter. In view of the lack of necessary funds at that time to pay the
mentioned amount by the hospital management, its payment was delayed at the time. Based on the insistence of the mentioned shop to settle
its long-standing account, our administration has decided to settle it now. Therefore, please kindly inform the Ottoman Bank in
Baghdad to provide us with the required transfer. Respectfully yours.
Chairman of the Administrative Committee

I R A Q.
Dear Sir,
We have in the past, and up to some time in 1951, supplied Instruments and Equipment for Jewish Hospitals in Baghdad through the Jewish Hospitals Committee. We now understand that owing to certain restrictions, these Hospitals are no longer in existence, and unfortunately we have been unable to obtain payment of our account for goods supplied during the year 1950-51, copy Invoices for which we enclose, together with a Statement showing a balance due to us of £600. 10. 11d.
It has been suggested to us by the Iraqi Embassy in London that we write to you on this subject, and perhaps you can help us in obtaining payment of this long overdue account.
Thanking you in anticipation,
We remain,
Yours faithfully,
DOWN BROS. and MAYER & PHELPS, Ltd.
