Book Description
Written from Camp. Writes that agreeable to the wishes of the Committee, he has been trying to get Capt. Pemberton to transcribe our address. Captain Pemberton has been too busy with his own work, so he has asked Colonel Cortlandt, and though he keeps requesting the finished transcript, Colonel Cortlandt has not yet been able to procure a fair Transcript. Has enclosed a copy of the transcript but as soon as the other copy is complete and he has it signed, he will send it to Knox. Apologizes for the delay and says, It is not owing to any neglect on my part that this business has not been more favor'd for I have exerted myself as much as possible. Possibly referring to GLC02437.01731.

Reiterates the request for money he made in his last letter (see GLC02437.00328). Mentions that Lucy is well, but their newborn is ill from teething. Discusses recent misfortunes from the invasion of Canada. Mentions the 8th Regiment quartered in Detroit heading towards Montreal with a party of Indians. Comments on the activities of Major Henry Sherburne, Colonel John Paterson, and General Benedict Arnold, and a six day truce forced on the British. Mentions that the army was stricken with smallpox and General John Thomas was likely to die from it. Chastises William for not writing more often and keeping him updated on activities in Boston. Later that month, British forces in Canada were reinforced and the Americans were forced to retreat. Thomas had died from smallpox on 2 June 1776. This letter to William was sent to Peter Knox, who evidently forwarded it to William Knox.
