Title
Avoiding the Dey's Rage
Description
Captain Smith is afraid that the Dey will rage when he sees a frigate arrive loaded with goods to pay the debts owed others while only a small brig has been dispatched to discharge his demands. A peace offering will be required to assuage his anger so the enclosed list includes articles that Consul O'Brien thinks will answer that purpose. Captain Smith thinks that a second vessel should be loaded with the timber commissioned for the Dey and filled with military stores and other articles requested by O'Brien.
