122. The Minister for Foreign Affairs informs me that the Roumanian King intends sending to Washington as Minister Dr. Constantin Anghelescu, former Minister of Works, Deputy, and professor of the University at Bucharest. He asks his acceptance by the American Government. He would appreciate receiving a reply as soon as possible.

I personally know Dr. Anghelescu quite well. He is a man of good reputation, very well thought of, intelligent and agreeable.
