No. 72.]Sir: I have the honor to inclose for your
information a copy and translation of a note from the minister for
foreign affairs in reply to my letter of the 28th of September, 1901,
tendering, on the part of his excellency the President, congratulations
to His Majesty the Shah, on the celebration of his birthday.
The reply is rather belated, which is in most things rather the rule than
the exception here; but I am sure it is not less sincere.
I have, etc.,
John Tyler,
Vice Consul-General, in Charge.

affairs of Persia to Mr. Tyler.

and to inform you that it was laid at the foot of the throne.
In reply, I beg to request that you will have the goodness to bring
to the notice of his excellency the President and the Government of
the United States the sincere pleasure and appreciation which this
message of friendship and good-will has given to His Majesty and
myself as well.
I take this opportunity, etc.,
