Book Description
Addressed to the Contractor or Commissary for subsisting the troops at this post. Consists of working drafts of two letters, one on the front and one on the verso. The first, a signed letter dated 16 May 1782, tells the commissary that he must deliver to the artillery artificers the one and a half rations of provisions they were promised upon joining the army. Captain [Thomas] Patten will provide the commissary with a count of how many persons require rations. There is a note at the bottom which appears to be the beginning of another rough draft of the letter. On the verso is an unsigned letter, addressed to the same individual, dated 17 May 1782. Writes, The men who work in the laboratory being under the same Circumstances as they who are drafted from the Brigade and annexed to the Artificers - are also entitled to the same Allowance of Provision. Requested the commissary to follow the orders of a Lieutenant [possibly William] Price, or any officer commanding the party, and treat the return signed by the officer as a warrant to issue the rations.

Book Description
Later copy. Written by Major General Knox to Secretary of War Lincoln. Arrived in Newburgh three days earlier. Was at West Point with the officers of the Army and find them generally much discontented. Says the problems revolve around the issuing of provisions. Says Tomorrow it is proposed to celebrate with a good deal of taste & some pomp, the birth of the dauphin. I am sorry we shall have such a bad sauce to the feast, as the late unfortunate event in the West Indies (the French fleet under de Grasse was defeated by British Admiral Rodney on 12 April off the coast of Dominica).

Book Description
Writes again about problems he is having with laboratories and the Commissary, Mr. [Richard] Frothingham. Emphasizes the need for some payment, especially for the officers: a little money now would be of much more service than a great deal in future. [Y]our Joseph is likely Joseph Nourse. See GLC02437.01413 for a related letter.

Book Description
Written on two different sizes of paper: the first is 33.4 x 21.3 cm, the second is 13 x 21 cm. Writes to Hancock, Governor of Massachusetts, to ask that eighteen-year-old Isaac Winslow be allowed to return to land his family owns in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Knox implies that Isaac's father, also named Isaac, is a loyalist. Relates that Isaac hopes no conduct of his father will prevent his residence in a country for which he has the greatest respect. Young Isaac was sent away to Canada at age 11 when the enemy arrived, and is now eighteen and has landed in New York. Knox emphasizes young Isaac's innocence and desire to be of service to his country.
