Letter text:
“Jerusalem, November 19, 1923.
Litwinski & Brothers, Jaffa
Gentlemen,
I spoke with your representative, Mr. Maurice, two days ago regarding Rashid Pasha’s garden in Jaffa. Rashid Pasha wishes to sell his half of the garden of Sheikh Salim. He would like to know if there are any buyers. Rashid Pasha is prepared to send his power of attorney to sell on the day we can tell him the price and terms of sale he desires, meaning if a buyer is found for him who is allowed to purchase under the terms and prices approved by Rashid Pasha. Please contact the buyers on the other side, those of the government (inquire about their identity with Mr. Matalon) and kindly let me know your thoughts on this matter. Naturally, (you and I) will receive our commission from the sale, which we will divide. I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours respectfully,
Hassan Dajany.”
