Book Description
Received his last letter, which excites in me the most grateful sensations. Did not know of any person who had a superior Claim upon Government office in the region than he did. Thought that all Congressional appointments would be made independently of the previous appointments given by state governments, before the new federal government had come into existence. Adds that Mr. [George] Thatcher (he spells it Thacher), the Congressional representative for his region, has corresponded with several merchants to find candidates for the import and export offices. Seems to suggest that local politicians and local merchants are in such good acquaintance that appointments might be handed out based on favoritism. Further, Winslow has resided only briefly in Portland, and has no mercantile concerns as such, so fears he will be deemed unsuitable. Discusses his prospects and hopes that Knox might be able to help him receive an appointment.

Book Description
Writes that he has for sometime been unsure how to ask Knox whether he might help him find a position with the federal government, preferably near where he lives. Would like to bring up his sons to be educated and respectable enough to remain in genteel society. Imagines that one of his friends might have already recommended him to Knox. Believes that Knox might suspect his employment in a public office might distract him from their mutual interests in the Waldo patent lands, but Winslow believes that this should not be a problem. Adds that Knox knows how much Winslow wants the new government to succeed. Would especially like a position with the revenue department.

Book Description
Apologized for any errors present in his last letter, which he had to write quickly. Discussed his desire for a government appointment with Mr. Thomas Robison, the most respectable Character in this place, with whom I have been upon very friendly Terms. While Robison wanted to help him, he had previously promised to support Mr. Lunt, who is already Collector in the Impost Office, in maintaining his position. Declares that he is on good terms with the most respectable people in the town, and discusses his prospects for appointment and possible competitors. Also discusses his dealings with Mr. [possibly Nathaniel] Fosdick, and his desire to cooperate with him, while he is in office.
