Message Marjorie allowed to be returned (8)

I believe the answer is:

'message' is the definition.
(telegram is a kind of message)

'marjorie allowed to be returned' is the wordplay.
'marjorie' becomes 'Marge' (short for Marjorie).
'allowed to' becomes 'let' (to let something happen is to allow it).
'be returned' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'is returned' mean this).
'marge'+'let'='margelet'
'margelet' backwards is 'TELEGRAM'.

(Other definitions for telegram that I've seen before include "cable" , "(Old) type of message" , "Pre-1980s electronic message" , "It may bring word" , "Dispatch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
