Description
This 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). Telegrams are in English, Arabic, French, and German.

For Mr. Shemtob.
Messrs. Jucho, Dortmund, inform us that you intend to come to
see us here in Wiesbaden next Monday in order to discuss our
representation in Iraq.
We regret to have to inform you that our firm is already represented
in Iraq, so that, for the time being, we are not able to
discuss this question with you. In case you intend, neverthe-
less, to visit us, we would be very glad, but would ask you
to inform us of the exact time of your arrival.
