Con Cremin (Vichy) to Joseph P. Walshe (Dublin)

Letter, Cremin to Walshe
5th October 1942

 Dear Secretary,It was very interesting to have had the opportunity of going for the summer to Berlin. I found Mr. Warnock in excellent form and none the worse for the motor-accident (which might have been very serious) which he had had early in June. He seems to be very much at home in Berlin and is very well known. It was, of course, quite a change after Vichy, to find oneself in a big-sized city again and our stay there was very pleasant in every way, the manner in which the Diplomatic Corps is treated being most generous.
