"I ... have a telegram that my grandmother found while visiting her mothers home in Wales, England. She did not even know the telegram existed as my grandfather had sent it to her parents and I believe she said it was dated for the day before she arrived in NFLD, that or he sent it the day after she arrived at some point but she never saw him send it!
It is a Western Union Telegram, received at ground floor, Dowlais Buildings, Cardiff Docks, Wales)
