Dunn, James Clement, Washington. To G.S. Messersmith, Vienna.

Hopes Messersmith will continue to write in manner he wrote to [Jay Pierrepont] Moffat; sidelights in letters helpful in forming picture of what is going on; occupied recently with developments in Ethiopia and with visit from Prime Minister [J. A.] Lyons of Australia; interested in Messersmith's sketch of [Franz] von Papen; von Papen fools only himself in assuming position to which he is not entitled; met him at Chancellor's reception in Vienna; sorry visit to Vienna coincided with Messersmith's leave in U.S
