King Nikola
King Nikola wrote to him;
Ja Ti, Drago, Ne sporim junašttvo, niti to iko može. Po Junaštvu si s reda bolji od mnogijeh glavara, Ma junaštvo nije sve. Za vojvodu u Grahovu te nijesam mogao postaviti, tu je Ante Daković- Od Oca mu je ostalo. Nijesam ti mogao dati ni Serdarstvo Grahovsko- To je serdarstvo dao još Sveti Petar Jezda Kovačević, a sa jezda prešlo na njegova sina Paja, dobra čoveka i junaka. A što sam dao komandirstvo Nikoli Androvu Kovačeviću, nemoj da ti se na njega kriva, to je pametan čovjek i glasiti junak. Da ti dam glavarstvo u drugo pleme nijesam mogao, jer svako pleme ima jaka bratstva, dobre ljude i junake, pa bi im se krivalo kad bi došao drugoga plemena. Ja nijesam kriv što mi Evropa na mirovnoj konferenciji u Berlinu uze Hercegovinu, i dade je Austriji. Da toga ne bi, tebe bih, Drago, Postavio za Vojvodu u Hercegovini, a to nam se, kao što znaš, izmače ispod skuta. A ti, Drago, treba da znaš da ima Srba i bez grba. Crna Gora ima junaka kojima se ponosi a koji se ne nose grbove. Novak Ramov i Jovan Lučin, tvoji sa borci, nijesu glavari a narod je njihove junačke podvite u pjesmu obukao. S njima je i Drago Obrenov-ne ustupla im ni koraka u junaštvu, no će s njima i drugijem crnogorskim sokolovima pronositi i dalje slavu junaštva, kako su se. vazda naučili.
Drago was awarded the Obilić medal, Grahovački Cross, Danilo's Cross and other ordens.
