Irish Ambassador to London Donal O'Sullivan told the Department of Foreign Affairs about his meeting with the earl at a banquet given by the queen at Windsor Castle on April 11, 1972.
Paraphrasing their conversation, he said Mountbatten hoped British Prime Minister Edward Heath's approach to the North would secure reunification.
"Lord Mountbatten said he wished me to know that he and many of his friends have been deeply impressed by the positive Dublin reaction to the Heath initiative," Mr O'Sullivan wrote.
"They hope that this can be developed into a 'major advance towards the final solution'. Reunification is the only eventual solution.
"If there is anything he can do to help he will be most happy to co-operate."
