Title

Possible Embargo of French Products

Description

Anderson is at loss relative to the purchase of French wheat because he does not know whether the differences with France will result in a serious breach between that country and the United States. He solicits Hodgdon's opinion as to whether he thinks Congress will impose an embargo on products from France.
