View interactive document pageThis is a group of telegrams about business transactions, including travel plans and financial confirmations. Most seem to be from the same company, the Nazih al-Swaid Co., Ltd., and include information about sugar transactions, oil, financial transactions, and construction plans. Many offer well wishes for the new years and holidays and concerns of health of family members and business partners. The travel plans include when someone is arriving in a city (which flight or train) and what hotel that person is staying at or if travel arrangements need to be made. The correspondence is to and from Baghdad and other Iraqi cities (Basrah, Mosul, Kirkuk), cities in Germany (Dusseldorf, Cologne), Teheran (Iran), Istanbul, London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Paris, cities in Italy (Rome), Switzerland, New York, Los Angeles, Beirut (Lebanon), Damascus (Syria), Saudi Arabia, Tripoli (Libya) and Amman (Jordan).
