Secretary of State Hay wrote Moroccan Consul Gummeré about how to handle the request of the Gospel Missionary Union that the government extend protection to Moroccans who rent or lease houses to American missionaries. Hay wrote that the treaty with Morocco did not provide such actions. Hay also instructed Gummeré to do everything possible to assist American missionaries in finding suitable housing and to secure immunity from prosecution and all proper protections for the natives who rent to missionaries.
