Handwritten notes by Joseph P. Walshe

DUBLIN, 12 December 1941

Message from Sir John Maffey on the phone at 11.40 am. Prime Minister has replied to Taoiseach's message as follows: 'I have your message and will gladly arrange for Lord Cranborne to go and see you, as you suggest, so that you may give him a fuller explanation of your position'. Lord Cranborne sent message at same time saying he could come Tuesday or Wednesday – staying until Thursday or Friday. Tuesday would suit him better: Mr. J. Stephenson would come with him.

I informed the Taoiseach accordingly – He agreed to Tuesday for date of arrival. I immediately phoned to Sir J. Maffey conveying the T's assent. Dulanty told me he had been given the information yesterday afternoon by C.

4 O'C
J. Maffey phoned today. C. would come quietly on Tuesday – wasn't good air traveller – would go straight to Maffey's and not see Taoiseach until Wednesday morning.
