Abstract: This file contains six pages of personal appeals and staff welfare requests addressed to the Regional Flood Relief Committee and Fatima Jinnah Relief Fund. A 3rd-year M.B.B.S. student (Dacca Medical College) requests a stipend or lump-sum grant, citing loss of father, poor family income, and flood-related crop failures (certificate attached). A former British India Steam Navigation Co. employee (21 years service) describes losing Rs. 4,100 in cash and belongings during Calcutta riots (April 8, 1950) and seeks relief for his family of 9 members after repeated failed appeals to government. A girl student from Nazira Baazar Girls Madrasah requests financial help to continue her education, noting flood, cyclone, and family illness.
