Book Description
Later copy of GLC02437.02009. References his letter from a few days past. Says that letter mentioned a meeting of officers called for by a paper circulating around camp. Says The meeting was had yesterday, and the General will forward the proceedings to Congress - which will, I am certain make you perfectly happy. Says the meeting went well and that it will set the military character of America in a high point of view. Says that if the people have any gratitude in them they will now support the army. Wants to have the proceedings published immediately to affect public opinion on the army and asks if Lincoln can have that done. Calls Washington's address a masterly performance. References Lincoln's letter of 12 March. Hopes Colonel Dyer of Connecticut will change his vote and approve the half-pay pensions.

Book Description
Unsigned, and marked copy. Body of the letter in the hand of Robert Pemberton, Knox's aide. Knox refers to a previous letter he sent to Lincoln (see GLC02437.03446). Thanks him for his last letter, and believes his recent services to the government (by leading troops to suppress Shays' Rebellion) will prove beneficial. Writes, A Congress of seven States has been lately formed. Our old friend General [Arthur] St. Clair president. Nearly three months elapsed between the time Congress ought to have been and the time it was actually formed. Adds, I have written you an official letter respecting some troops I have ordered to Springfield. Discusses where these troops are currently stationed, and how they will arrive at Springfield. Urges him to keep your attention fixed on the Stores and to afford them as ample protection as your force will admit, and the case may require. Mentions the variety of rumors he has heard regarding the status of Lincoln's regiment, but has heard that Generals [Rufus] Putnam and [Benjamin] Tupper are with him and if so, sends his regards to them.

Book Description
Writes that he is fully impressed with how busy Lincoln is (Lincoln was preparing to lead a regiment to face off against the Shays insurgents), but hopes that he would not mind giving him news of the battles in Massachusetts when possible. Writes, I do not request to know any thing which if divulged by miscarriage of letters would be in the least injurious - Any communications which shall be made shall be retained with me unless you should please to order otherwise. I trust to your friendship to excuse my request, wishing you every success. Body of letter and signature penned for Knox by Robert Pemberton, his post-war aide.

Book Description
Later copy. Written by Major General Knox to Secretary of War Lincoln. Congratulates Lincoln on the glorious termination of our struggles. References Lincoln's letter of 22 February. Agrees with Lincoln on the efficacy of the funds you mention, but I cannot determine upon the propriety of the Army pressing the particular funds upon Congress. Expects to see him in a few days as Washington will probably want to see Lincoln before the Army is disbanded. Says the magazines and arsenals cannot be erected without a special order from him.
