Abstract
Description
P.S. Has sent Messersmith's letter about Prof. [Joseph] Redlich to Secretary and Under Secretary. Hopes discouragement of Austrian Government is only passing phase; doubly hard for European powers to stand firm if there is defeatism in Austria itself; Messersmith's comments on von Papen interesting; his maladroitness probably results from fundamental stupidity; FA [Foreign Service Administration] has arranged for Messersmith's five-day period in Berlin on way home; looking forward to seeing him in early April; appreciates Messersmith's hesitation about leaving post at this time, but the "crisis" in Austria is endemic, and he should not forego trip home; [Alfred W.] Kliefoth has had considerable experience and Legation will be in good hands.
