In reference to this particular DOX, was this just mailed to someone
employed in the London Office of the High Commissioner of

Hi TL

In The British Commonwealth, representatives of on Commonwealth country
to another Commonwealth country are named «High Commissioners». This is
because the monarch could not name an ambassador to itself. The High
Commissoners have the rank of ambassadors for any purpose of protocol
and they exert the same functions as ambassadors. So, the subscription
on your cover is exact as, in 1932, Newfoundland would have had a High
Commissioner in London. I could not find if Mr Murphy was the High
Commissioner, an employee of the High Commission or a Newfoundlander who
would pick up mail sent in care of the High Commission. Nice cover!
