Abstract: Two brief certificates (1934, 1942) concerning Khairunissa Ahmed Mohamed. The first (8 January 1934) from a physician at Jamshedjee Tiljibhai Hospital, Bombay, states that her husband suffers from an incurable brain disease and cannot earn, recommending communal charity. The second (14 April 1942) from Abdulla Karmaili certifies the family is very poor and in need of charities.
