            Congress, but has not yet received an answer. Sending another copy of the letter in case
            it was mislaid. Hopes to show the Emperor that the United States are willing to freely
            enter Moroccan ports under their own flag as they did under the English. Has offered to
            Mr. Franklin to act as a go-between for the two countries. If Congress wishes to be at
            peace with Morocco, they should instruct the captains of their armed ships to let pass
            the ships sailing under the flag of the Emperor.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
