Abstract
Description
Suggests probable effect of appointment of new Consul General in Berlin; fears new Consul might be uncomfortable with Geist serving in his dual capacity in the Consulate and as First Secretary in the Embassy; fears also loss of prestige might affect his authority and standing with German government, making his work more difficult; his eight years in Berlin have given him knowledge and experience which he believes useful to his government, but will abide by whatever the Department decides for him; if transferred to another post, would prefer Switzerland, with Belgium or France as second choice.
