Book Description
Knox reflects on the Revolutionary War: Your calm retreat to Mount Vernon must be a source of ineffable delight to you. You can from there take a retrospective view of the critical exigencies of the War, and see a thousand ways by which the issue might have been the reverse of what it is- And your happiness must be in proportion to the extreme difficulties and danger in the contest and the immense blessings secured to your country by the glorious peace... Gives Washington news of Congress. Discusses the Society of the Cincinnati: The Cincinnati appears however groundless to be an object of jealousy... Notes that in response to the Society of the Cincinnati, a committee has been chosen by the Legislature of Massachusetts to investigate associations that may have a tendency to create a race of an hereditary nobility... Knox's retained draft.

Book Description
Responds to a 2 June 1784 letter from Washington. Discusses a recent Congressional order requiring Frederick Haldimand, Governor of the Province of Quebec, to give the United States information as to when British troops will completely evacuate Western forts, and how cannon and stores from the forts can be exchanged. Knox is incensed, writing I cannot say but that I am well satisfied to be excluded from any responsibility in arrangements that cannot be executed. The attempt to employ militia for twelve months in an arduous operation of conveying the stores and making permanent establishments in that difficult country... Notes that William Hull has been sent to obtain the information from Haldimand, but that Haldimand will likely deliver the information at his own convenience, if at all. Notes that opposition to the Society of the Cincinnati in Massachusetts had died down. Written in Dorchester, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
