Dear Sir Elly,

I return the Mea.rial and other papera

which you have sent me.

I think that as you were born in Bagdad

you are entitled to describe your present nationality as "Iraquian" provided that your father was als born in Iraq, and crdinarily resident there at the time of y ur

birth.

It is improbable that the Home Office will raise any question on this point, but I think that they

*culu dake some difficulty about the descriptica of your parents nationality as being also Iraquian. I gather

from your answer to question (11) that they are both

dead and if they died before the creation of Iraq as a

new State it is clear that their nationality cannot be

described as Iraquian. In that case I suppose that

they were Ottoman subjects and it would not prejudice

your application to describe then as such.

As regards the declarations there need n't

necessarily be more than five Individuals concerned
