<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">old-fashioned message</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for telegram that I've seen before include "(Old) type of message" , "It may bring word" , "Message transmitted by wire" , "Dispatch" , "Message sent by wire" .)
