Lloyd Carpenter Griscom, United States Minister to Persia, is working to advance American trade in the Middle East and Iran. He has checked out the two main trade routes, one from Tehran to Baghdad, and the other from Isfahan to the River. The Governor of Isfahan, who is also the Shah’s brother, would like an autographed copy of one of President Roosevelt’s books on big game hunting. Griscom thinks such a gift would be very helpful for his work, and suggests two copies be sent so one may also be given to the Shah.
