Extract from a letter from W.J.B. Macaulay1 to Joseph P. Walshe (Dublin)
(M/Sp. 130/19/25)
WASHINGTON, 25 June 1925
A Chara:
[Matter omitted]
The Minister Plenipotentiary fears it is not fully appreciated that the work of the Legation is growing and that the position is entirely changed compared with this time last year when the Legation, as such, was not in existence. His Excellency begs to remind the Department that the scope of a legation and that of an unofficial representative is very different, not only vis a vis the State Department but the other Government Departments and Foreign Missions with which this Legation is in communication.
The Minister Plenipotentiary is fully aware of the need for economy and he has sought unceasingly to reduce to a minimum the expense of the Legation, nor would he now ask for sanction for this expenditure were he not convinced of its necessity.
