No. 249 NAI DFA 17/217

Letter from Joseph P. Walshe to Seán Lester (Danzig)
(Copy)

Dublin, 31 December 1934

Dear Seán,

All good wishes to you and Elsie1 for the New Year.

The appointment of an honorary Consul to Danzig would bring a shoal of requests for similar honours from the U.S.A. and from other countries. Danzig has no special claim that we can discover. So for the time being at any rate there will be no appointment there.

Yours sincerely,
[stamped] (Signed) J.P. Walshe

1 Lester's wife, Elizabeth 'Elsie' Lester (née Tyrell), married 1920.
