Two press cuttings, the first one on the reception accorded to S. Lester when he took up his duties in Danzig: S. Lester emphasized the fact that Poles, Germans and Danzigers were united in their belief that an Irishman will understand their respective points of view and defend their respective interests; the second one on the Council's position towards the Free City of Danzig: though the Council of the League of Nations had a very grave responsibility towards the Free City of Danzig it could not assume the function of a court of law in regard to it.

S. Lester requested F. Walters' and the Secretary-General's views regarding the procedures: a report by the Rapporteur would have been the normal procedure, S. Lester proposed the appointment of a Committee to report on the Zentrum Party's petition and Catholic Priests' petition, as well as to study some Danzig constitutional points, or that the Rapporteur wished the matter to be adjourned to enable him to study the legal points raised, S. Lester thought either of these procedures would be better than the mere withdrawal of the questions from the Council Agenda.
Report of the talks between L. Krabbe and Krauel dated 6 January 1936 on S. Lester and the situation in Danzig, S. Lester's visit to von Neurath, A. Forster's and A. Greiser's behaviours and relationships with S. Lester.
This list covers letters from S. Lester to J. Avenol which figured neither in the League of Nations Danzig confidential files (now in archives), nor in S. Lester's folders of copies of his correspondence (1934-1936) with Secretary-General and League of Nations, obviously they are the more formal communications; as mentioned in G. Lippestad's letter these documents concerned: I. Participation of Danzig in International Treaties and Agreements II. Port and Waterways Boards III. Documents on Loans, etc. ; but they also concerned the appointment of the League of Nations High Commissioner, the Constitution of the Free City of Danzig, the Polish-Danzig Agreement of 6 August 1934, petitions, etc.
Dinner with A. Greiser, President of the Danzig Senate, and principal Danzig officials; Count and Countess von Kayserling: talk on Danzig situation; conversation with von Radovitz about A. Greiser's and A. Forster's attitude vis-à-vis the League of Nations.
