Re our conversation today (Pratley - Grant) on attached letter. 2» I have advised Mr Mathews that you will reply to his letter. I also told him it would be preferable for him, to contact your office if further liaison is required on this subject. 2. This is the first indication I've had that the circuit from the London Traffic Centre (DWS) to Leitrim (Ottawa Wireless Station) is to be used as the primary route for these communications. As the Canadian portion of thia circuit is the responsibility of this office would you direct any relevant correspondence to here.

All telegrams to and from the Royal Party will be prefixed the codeword "SPUR". This is to facilitate identification a handling of this traffio. The codeword will always appear en olair after the preamble and before the address and text. It should never enoyphered. I am oopyi * letter to Bill Lobkhart of Bxt#rnal Affa in oase he is in any way involved in these a m its. By the same token, the U.K.H.C.'s office may also be involved and I am therefore attaching an extra copy of this letter. I would be grateful if you would let me know if there is any other information you require from me in regard to helping with these details. I will of course oome up to Ottawa on a word from you if it will in any way help all our plans. I should perhaps remind you in conclusion, that I am due ie U.K. a • middle of Hay, and therefore if you would like me to come to Ottawa it should be before this date, I think, so that I can advise London fully on any progress made up to that time.
