Your letter 1451/2SG of 7th November.
I fear that Shepherd’s letter did not make it
clear that the figures referred to words and not
messages (although the enclosures did so). Perhaps
this has caused the misunderstanding. In any case
we confirm our figures which refer only to messages
originating in luscat.
Yours ever
