1Foreign Office lists. The story that ‘Henry’ was a Mr Ernst Henry is incorrect. Ernst Henry was the pseudonym of a Russian journalist who was an Agitprop agent but never registered as a diplomat. He promoted communism and subversion openly, which would never have been allowed if he had been a controller

[51]The letter described by Philby was not found in Burgess’s effects. It may have been destroyed, but MI5 officers involved in the case doubt that it ever existed. In Boyle’s Climate of Treason the letter is converted to a telegram, but Philby would have known that all telegrams are subject to security scrutiny and MI5 would, or should, have been looking for just such a clue
