Book Description
William, attending business in Henry's absence, transmits two letters from Lucy Knox (possibly GLC02437.03976 and GLC02437.03979). Notes that Congress recently addressed the question of its permanent location. Six states were in favor of New York, while four were in favor of Philadelphia, so the question was lost as seven states are necessary for the decision. Discusses military matters: Royal Flint's clothing contract with [the War Department?]; Joseph Howell's appointment as Commissioner of Army Accounts; correspondence with Arthur St. Clair and Josiah Harmar; business with William Duer; Jeremiah Wadsworth's departure for Hartford, etc. Discusses news from Europe. Mentions ...the [British] prohibition of the wheat from this Country on account of the Hessian Fly. Notes that one of Henry's cows is missing and Caesar, possibly a slave or servant, has been searching for her.
