My first and last telegram was from Rebecca West

Telegrams have a quaint connotation these days I suppose.

In old Indian movies, a Telegram would only arrive to signify really bad news - someone died, or something like that. Why else would you pay for that expense? Well, it could also be a job interview or posting. So the connotation there, in that time, was probably not so good.

		In old Indian movies... Old movies in general, Indian or Hollywood. For pretty much the reasons you list.

		This is at least an interesting use of tokens

> I found this telegram tucked into a passage on the Jewish community in Sarajevo [...] The recipient of the telegram was Ann Cottrell Free

I dare say he didn't receive, he found, and it's not his but someone else's telegram.
