TELEGRAMS

1.

IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL IF YOU COULD MAKE A POINT OF

PUTTING DESKBY MARKINGS ON YOUR IMMEDIATE TELEGRAMS WHENEVER

THERE IS PARTICULAR URGENCY INVOLVED. THIS IS PARTICULARLY

NECESSARY WHEN WE ARE WORKING ON TEXTS WHICH NEED TO BE

PROCESSED AND RETELEGRAPHED WITHIN A SINGLE WORKING DAY. A

TELEGRAM WHICH YOU SEND IMMEDIATE AT CLOSE OF PLAY WITHOUT A

DESKBY MARKING MAY WELL NOT REACH US UNTIL THE EARLY AFTERNOON OUR TIME. A CASE IN POINT IS YOUR TELNO 838 (PROMISED FOR

020830Z AND DESPATCHED 020820Z).

2. IN PARTICULAR PLEASE COULD YOU ENSURE THAT ALL TELEGRAMS

REPORTING ON ROUNDS OF TALKS ARE SENT TO US WITH A DESKBY

MARKING.
