Amir Amanullah Khan of Afghanistan to President Harding 1
To My Great Friend, Mr. President of the United States of America: Expressing my friendly feeling to Your Excellency, I intend to inform Your Excellency’s high Government about my coronation.
After the tragic death of my father His Majesty Amir Habibulla Khan who was killed during His royal Territorial excursion, I came to the throne of Afghanistan, as it was my right and all public desire of Afghan nation.
For the expression of friendly feelings of my Government, I sent one of my Generals G. Mohemmed Wali Khan as Extraordinary Ambassador to Your Excellency’s high Government.
As I used to have the sincere wish to establish a permanent friendly relation between Afghanistan and high Government of the United States, I expect that Your Excellency’s high Government may be satisfied with the keeping of this friendly relation too.
Sending to Your Excellency my sincere greeting I beg to express herewith to Your Excellency and Your Excellency’s high Government my highest esteem.
