The Commissioner at Berlin (Dresel) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 12—11:05 p.m.]
957. Department’s 920 of August 9. So far as I am concerned I see no sufficient reason for a change. In fact at present it might prove trying as I am very anxious not to make my position here the subject of further discussion. I have uniformly experienced considerate and courteous treatment here in diplomatic circles and from Government officials regardless of title. If Grant-Smith feels a more ornate halo would help him and strengthen his position, I should be heartily in accord. However, I do not aspire to such unaccustomed eminence.
