Your Reference:
Di 093. 733/3.
S i r:
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of May 13th in relation to the diploma conferred upon me by the Government of Montenegro.
From the last paragraph of your letter I gather that you have misunderstood the situation in regard to my office with this bank. I am not an officer of our Government, nor is the Bank owned by the Government, simply operating under a Government charter as do the national banks. I receive no emolument from the Government, nor do I hold any office or title of any kind in the Government of the United States.
I would, therefore, appreciate the courtesy of delivery of the document handed to the Department by the Consul General of Montenegro at New York.
I beg to remain,
Respectfully,
Governor.
