J'LEM transit, 4 AUG 37 BAGHDAD transit & 8 VIII 37 TEHERAN arr.; slit open at top. Nicely documented route via J'LEM eastwards (this being June 1930 supplementary route on Mon/Wed/Fri via Amman to rail via Damascus on alternate days); unusual combination of "certified official" w/franking (similar displayed Collins p.87).
