Secretary of State Hay wrote to the President of the Gospel Missionary Union about the organization’s request for the American government to extend protection to Moroccans who rent or lease buildings to American missionaries. Hay wrote that the treaty with Morocco did not provide such actions, but the consul had been instructed to do everything possible to assist American missionaries with housing.
