Abstract
Description
Appreciates Geist's comments on European situation; U.S. newspapers would prefer to withdraw correspondents from Germany rather than have their news censored by German government; glad to learn Geist and Ambassador [Wilson] getting along well; Geist now to have dual commission - as First Secretary of Embassy, and Consul General, work in dual capacity confined to protection matters; Donald Heath [First Secretary at Consulate] will do financial reporting; statutes prevent allowing more than $3,000 per year for Ambassador's housing; unnecessary for Ambassador to entertain on larger scale; recommends getting Mendelsohn-Bartholdy house if possible; will write Embassy soon concerning Blucher Palace.
