Book Description
Writes that Colonel [possibly William] Hull accepted an appointment in the Massachusetts line, but wants to rank next to Jackson, with the title of Major. Major [William] North believes he will outrank Hull, but Jackson emphasizes that Hull should outrank North, with Major [likely Elnathan] Haskell third. As Major North is traveling to New York, Jackson expects he will try to talk to Knox about it, and wishes Knox to be prepared. Lists the men he nominated to be Captains, but mentions that the Governor and Council changed some of the names without telling him. Discusses some problems recruiting artillery men. Writes, I have no money as yet to commence Recruiting & I know not when I shall. Hopes that the artillery officers he recruits can recruit for their own companies. Both Haskell and North want to be appointed to Jackson's company. This needs to be worked out immediately as he has business for them to attend to. Has enclosed a letter for a Mr. C. Seldon, whom he describes as a charming fellow. Sends his love to Lucy Knox and the children.

Book Description
Received Knox's letter of 2 May 1791. Thanks Knox for his promise respecting the appointment of Marshall. Jackson believes that another, unrelated Mr. Jackson will try to hold on to that appointment along with the other appointment he holds. Says, I have no fears in this head as the President will not approbate so great an impropriety as one man holding two Offices under the government. Goes on to discuss the issue of government appointments and the problem with choosing some men and leaving others out. Explains that were the Deputies appointed by the President, they would have some claim upon his patronage, but in the present case they have none. Knox is the only person that Jackson trusts with his request. Jackson would like to visit Knox but his mother would be greatly distressed.
