The Minister in Iran (Dreyfus) to the Secretary of State

116. Afghan Minister informs me his Government has now given formal consent to appointment of Engert as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at Kabul. I have asked him to ascertain in view of this development whether his Government will now grant permission for Thayer to proceed to Kabul to open the Legation.
