Hello,
I came across this 1934 Egyptian Registered O.H.E.M.S. cover today.
Can anyone tell me what the Arabic reads on the front of the cover? I'm unsure of its destination or full origin. Photo is my own hosting.
Thanks, Will

An official stamp-less envelope with Registered stamp on it. Canceled in Cairo.
O.H.E.M.S (On His Egyptian Majesties Service) States, Ministry of the Interior
it continues Personnel & (too faded to read well)
The numbers on the bottom are years likely 1934-1935, but I can't confirm that.
But you may have known all that already.

I believe the years in the lower left corner are 1933-1934. But since I am not fluent in Arabic languages, I'm subject to correction.
