Visit announced in Saturday morning's papers. Cabinet decided McElligott should not go. Only Lemass and Leydon travelling. Principal subjects for discussion air development, petrol coal and tea supplies and in a very general way future trade relations. I read Taoiseach portion of your letter of 20th regarding attitude of officials.¹ He was delighted that you went for Stevenson and is inclined to blame Dulanty for not doing the same but he entirely agrees your view that removal or side-stepping of hostility of Dominions Office officials is a major interest. I gave Dulanty text of your report of conversation with Secretary of State. I did not repeat not give him report of conversation with Stevenson.
