40. I have just returned from an informal call on Nusret Bey.45 Under instructions from Angora he asked me to telegraph the Department requesting agrément of Mouhtar Bey as the Ambassador of Turkey in the United States. Mouhtar Bey has had an extended diplomatic service. He has served as Foreign Minister in the Cabinet of Rao Bey, Minister in Athens, and Ambassador in Russia; and at the present time he is a Deputy from Constantinople. I regret that he is not known to me personally.
