LAZARETOS, President to A. Monastiriotis, October 25, 1868

The president of the Chamber of Deputies to the minister of foreign affairs.

The Chamber of Deputies, inspired by a national duty, voted at its eighty-fourth sitting, on yesterday, a decree by which it expressed, in the midst of the warmest applause, its profound acknowledgments to the Senate, House of Representatives, and people of the United States of America, for the generous and benevolent sentiments which the great republic has at all times manifested towards the Hellenic nation, and especially in regard to the cause of Candia, and it has requested me to be the interpreter of this national decision.

In fulfilling with pleasure this mission, I have the honor to transmit herewith official copy of the above-mentioned decree, with the request that you will properly communicate the same.
