Many thanks for your interest . You have already told me much I did not know. I’ve never heard of the “ Beale code “ or the Chinese code of “ Mingma “.Even if you can’t crack this message perhaps sometime in the future you might explain these codes to me and why the code structure should vary. I have one other telegram from the same bundle of war documents (also from Peking 1910 ) that I could put up only if you think it might help as I don't want to strain the friendship.
