No. 188 NAI DFA 27/11
Letter from Patrick McGilligan to L.S. Amery (London)
(E.A. 247/1929) (Copy)
Dublin, 14 March 1929
Dear Mr. Amery,
I am replying today1 to your despatch of the 26th February, and while doing so I should like to add a few words in a personal note to you. We regard it as very unfortunate that His Majesty was not in a position to receive from myself an explanation of our view on the slight modifications made in the form of the instrument of ratification. If he had been in his normal health I should have gone to advise him to sign the ratification on behalf of the Government, and would at the same time have explained our entire position to him.
We hope that His Majesty's recovery is now definitely assured.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) P. McGilligan
