DUBLIN, 12 April 1923

My Lord Duke,
I have the honour to advert to Your Grace's Despatch No. 80 of the 15th February,¹ with reference to the question of Communications from His Majesty's Government to the Government of the Irish Free State on International Affairs, and to inform you that my Ministers are of opinion that it would be advisable to continue provisionally the understanding arrived at between the late President Griffith and Mr. Winston Churchill, mentioned in paragraph 3² of your Despatch, whereby such communications and consultations were deferred until such time as the Irish Government should be in a position to deal adequately with matters of this nature.

I have the honour to be,
My Lord Duke,
Your Grace's most obedient,
humble servant,
(Sgd.) T.M. HEALY
