Mr. Heskel D. Schemtob, President, Jewish Community, Bagdad.

Dear Mr. Schemtob,

NAIMA I have been asked by NAIMA bat Menasche, the wife of Katzuri ben Tzalah of the family Daniel, to approach her husband who lives in your city with a view to persuading him to grant her a Get. I am informed that her husband works on the Town Council of Bagdad and that his address is 3 Kamber Aly Street.

I do hope that you will be able to find a Rabbi who will undertake this task and arrange for the Get to be written and delivered to a proxy according to the Laws of our Sacred Faith. The name of our second Sheliach is Yitzchak ben Nahum HaCohen.

The Hebrew names are as follows:- | WIFE: | נעימה בת מנשה לבית צלח | | HUSBAND: | כצורי בן צאלח למשפחת דניאל | | 2ND SHELIACH: | יצחק בן נחום הכהן |

Hoping that you can help us in this matter, Yours sincerely,
