Book Description
Jefferson, Secretary of State, writes Knox to hastily give his thoughts on the treaty of Hopewell, the act of cession of N. Carolina and the act of acceptance by Congress. States that Congress's act of acceptance followed the Treaty of Hopewell, and that North Carolina can not use their right of preemption to take away the right of occupation of the Cherokees. The question would be a disagreeable one between the general government, a particular government, and individuals. Jefferson thinks purchasing from the Cherokees the right of occupation is one solution. Docketed by Knox.

Discusses Washington's refusal of a gift from the Legislature of Virginia. States, My jealousy for your fame is so high, that I should prefer seeing you cincinnatus like, following your plow rather than accepting the least pecuniary reward for services, which fairly challenge the approbation of posterity, but thank the supreme God, you are happily placed above the necessity of receiving any assistance. Suggests the money should instead go to the maintenance of the widows, and the support and education of the orphans of those men of their own line... Reports that he accepted the appointment of Secretary at War, noting From the habits imbibed during the War, and from the opinion of my friends, that I should make but an indifferent trader, I thought upon mature consideration that it was well to accept it... Complains of the position's low salary ([Dollar sign]2450 per year), discussing his relatively precarious financial state. Text extends into the margins of pages two and three. Knox's retained draft.
