The letter was sent on behalf of Sir Claud Schuster (Clerk of the Crown in Chancery), but it's difficult to make out the author's initials. Whoever it was also initialed the memo to Sir Claud Schuster that appears in the margins of the Royal Warrant.

Arthur Eagleston (Assistant Secretary at the Home Office)

Document is typewritten. Likely a carbon copy of the original with the author's initials in place of the signature.
