The Governor of the State of New York (Miller) to the Secretary of State

Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of November thirteenth,67 informing me of the receipt by your Department of a communication from the local representative of the administration now functioning in Mexico to the effect that Mr. Faustino Roel has been appointed Consul General of Mexico at New York City.

It is noted that while the United States government has not recognized the present Mexican regime, the Department of State [Page 717] considers that it is advisable for agents of this government to raise no question as to the lack of formal recognition of Mr. Roel.

I can assure you that New York State will be glad to extend every courtesy to Mr. Roel in his capacity as Consul General of Mexico and in order that the Secretary of State of New York may be fully advised as to the position taken, I have caused to have filed in that Department a copy of your communication.

Very truly yours,

Nathan L. Miller
