The Diplomatic Passport Of US-Consul Fishers Wife 1931

This United States diplomatic passport was issued to Myrtle Mary Fisher, the spouse of the US consul in the Bahamas at Nassau. No travels in the document, hence it’s in really nice condition and has 48 pages. Attached to the passport was the ID card of Fred D. Fisher as US consul. Researching some data about Fisher I found the following. Since Jan. 29, 1930 at his post as consul at Nassau, Bahamas and responsible for Trinidad and British West Indies. His annual salary was then $6.000 (according to Register Department of State, Publication no. 170, January 1, 1931). His annual salary that would be similar to $86.000 today.

I found online his appointment certificate as US Consul in Santos, Brazil 1926, signed by President Coolidge and acting Secretary of State Grew and an earlier appointment as Consul Third Class from 1918, signed by President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing.
