Military Governor's Office, Baghdad. 7th April 1917.
To, The Chief Rabbi, Baghdad.
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Excellency's letter of yesterdays date, requesting that permits be issued to the relatives of Jewish prisoners enabling them to convey bread azyme to the prisoners during the eight Paschal days of Easter, and regret to say that if the bread is intended for prisoners who are condemned to long terms of imprisonment the prison regulations do not, as yet, <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> allow persons from outside a prison communicating in anyway with the prisoners.
If, however, your Excellency's letter refers to prisoners not already condemned, who may be under detention in the guard room, it might be possible to arrange for these to receive the Bread.
It is to be regretted that the matter did not come before my notice at an earlier date.
If a list of the prisoners referred to is sent to me it will be possible to say under what conditions they are detained, but to avoid delay I venture to add that if the bread is sent to the office I will arrange for its distribution.
[Signature] ⟦C. Hawker⟧
MILITARY GOVERNOR.
