Letter from Joseph P. Walshe to Con Cremin (Lisbon)
(Copy)

Dear Mr. Cremin,

I should like to let you know how very much the Minister and all of us here appreciate your excellent work in Germany. We appreciate very fully the trials and difficulties which you and your wife had to overcome during the period of your mission in that country, and we are profoundly grateful that both of you took the whole experience as a great adventure which the Department will always remember as a bright and stirring page in the history of its early years of growth. The Minister considers that you have given an example of zeal and perseverance in your work deserving of the very highest praise, and he earnestly hopes that the next stage of your adventures at Lisbon will be a period of tranquillity and happiness for you and your family.
