The Honorable Mr. Shua Zelouf, Respectfully

After greetings,
We hereby confirm to you that the costs of constructing the Rifqa Menahem Daniel Dispensary built by
you have reached (4081/965 Dinars) four thousand eighty-one dinars and nine hundred
and sixty-five fils only, according to the lists submitted by you. We request your confirmation of receipt of

His Excellency the Virtuous Benefactor, Senator Mr. Ezra Menachem Daniel, Respectfully
Greetings and respect,
We are very pleased to inform you that the dispensary endowed by your Excellency under the name
"Rebecca Menachem Saleh Daniel Dispensary" has been constructed. We present herewith:
A - A table including the account of income and expenditures of the aforementioned endowment from 8 / 5 / 1944 to 31 / 7 / 1950
B - A table showing the construction costs of the aforementioned dispensary amounting to 5206.247 Dinars, and it appeared
from these two tables that there is a deficit in the amount of 1010.756 Dinars that must be paid according to table
(C) attached.
The construction was carried out on behalf of the Council under the supervision of the subcommittee of the Hospitals Committee. The
said committee did its best to avoid this deficit, but it saw it necessary to spend these amounts
to fulfill the intended purpose of constructing this dispensary, taking into account the latest health and architectural systems.
This deficit resulted from repairing the old section of the building and adopting the piling method in
the foundations, whereas the aforementioned subcommittee had not taken the costs of these two works into account
at the start of the construction.
It is not hidden from your Excellency that both the budget of the Lay Council and the Hospitals Committee cannot bear
covering this deficit. Accordingly, the Council saw fit to present the matter to your Excellency seeking your consideration of the possibility
of providing aid to cover this deficit. We have strong hope that you will agree to add this charity to
your many charities. May the Lord preserve you as a treasure for the community and for humanitarian projects.
Please accept our highest respect;
