            resolution of Congress of the 21st March. Will obey the spirit of the resolution. The
            course of his Danish Majesty has produced a more liberal decision in England in
            conferring holy orders. The French court opines Congress should send a Consul with full
            powers. Receipt of various communications from John Jay. Ministers write monthly, but
            possess no certain evidence of their letters being received. Visits of English
            gentlemen; their conversation. Will be received in all respects as other foreign
            Ministers. It does not follow they will do what their honor and public faith require,
            either with respect to the posts, Negroes or debtors. Can ascertain nothing until
            publicly acknowledged. P.S. Informed by Sir Clement C. Dormer that an audience will be
            granted on Wed.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
