Description | It goes without saying that the town of Jerusalem is a place much visited by the people. As the town includes sacred places, it is not appropriate to accommodate a theatre composed of such obscene women. This situation is not only improper in the eyes of friends and foes, it will also cause damage due to the poverty of the folk. Even though our council considered that the requested license not be given, the matter is still left to your sublime discretion. The 18th of Huzayrân (1)314 (30th of June 1898). |
