No. 133.]

Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 474, of the 4th ultimo, transmitting copy of a letter from a Mr. Philippe C. Dockos, of Canea, Crete, requesting appointment as honorary American consul in that island.,

In reply I have to say that the department has had under consideration the establishment of an office on the island of Crete and has decided that the needs of the public service do not require one there.

The department highly appreciates the sentiments of esteem and regard which Mr. Dockos expressed toward the United States.

I am, etc.,

Alvey A. Adee.
