Book Description
Mentions that he went to the Point [possibly West Point] the day before to pay his respects and inform Knox about the movement of the Invalids between Fishkill and West Point. Also writes, My further intention was to request your permission to remain here a short time with my family 'till I can have a place prepared for its reception, subject to attend when ever my presence is necessary, which I flatter myself you will be so kind as to grant. Comments that he was unable to find any building in West Point that would be large enough to accommodate his large family, so he is hoping the Quartermaster General will allow some of the damaged barracks to be repaired, so his family can live there. Apologizes, finally, for not returning to the post that day or asking permission before delaying at Fishkill.

Book Description
Declares that he is convinced of Knox's desire to help old and infirm soldiers (he is a colonel in the Invalid regiment). Writes, I find by experience I have over rated my abilities in undertaking to remove boards from here to the Point; my horses are so weak they would not be able to hall any quantity of a long time, and I have been obliged to pay a dollar a load for a two horse waggon, an expense my purse will not bear, besides this & the removal of my furniture & I have a considerable quantity of vegetables, raised for a winter store, which I cannot afford to leave behind or take with me, these reasons compel me, however disagreeable, to continue my family here this winter, & flatter myself I shall be indulged with permission to continue with them as long as may be consistent with my duty, which I would not neglect. Writes that per Knox's last letter, he expects his regiment will be stationed at [Constitution] Island, which he thinks will suit them and hopes some quarters for him will be erected there in the spring. Finally, explains he would have paid his compliments to Knox this week but bad health and weather have prevented it: after riding 3 1/2 miles yesterday for business, he got such violent pains in my loins I was incapable of raising myself erect the remainder of the day. See GLC02437.01666 for a related document.

Comments that His Excellency [General George Washington] has not yet decided where to station the Invalids for the winter, but will know when he makes the general arrangement of the army which will be very soon. But he appears to think constitution island a proper place for them and that they will be very competent to do the work assigned to them there. Will let him know as soon as General Washington tells him the plan. Adds that the Stores will all be removed from Fish Kill as soon as the army goes to winter quarters.

Book Description
Writes, I am informed the work at the house I am to occupy at the Point cannot proceed for want of boards, & as I am anxious to be where my duty calls me, I am under the necessity of requesting your application to Genl. [Henry] Knox to know whether I can be permitted to pull down some of the empty barracks here & have them removed to West Point for the house I am to inhabit there, this I am willing to do without putting the publick to any trouble or expense, except halling them from the beach at the Point to the house; if this is agreeable to the Genl I beg his order, as, during Col. [possibly Hugh] Hugh's absence, no one here can permit it. I should have paid my respects to the General this week had I not been very ill with fever & ague, this should be my bad day, but as the fit is not come on I hope it has left me.
