Messersmith, G.S., Vienna. To William Phillips, Rome., 1937 February 15

Delighted Phillips coming to Vienna; will be sorry not to see Mrs. Phillips, but hopes Phillips' daughter will accompany him; plans for repairs and alterations of residence arrived and if plans are found satisfactory work may start immediately after his and Mrs. Messersmith's departure for home; it will mean dismantling house and storing furniture before departure on Apr. 7, so hopes Phillips will come as soon as possible after middle of March; Chancellor made reassuring speech in Bundestag Feb. 14 on Austria's internal and external policy.
