rapidly optimist, omniferious
sender’s copy, cable dated 5 July 1890.
Macmicking London would have been Ker, Bolton & Co., a London (and earlier Glasgow) merchant house. The firm probably employed a private code, compiled for its specific commodities and needs. Modolavi — but not the other cipher words in this message — appears in Ager’s Telegram Code (3rd edition) of 1880.
