Book Description
Stoddert, Secretary of the Navy, has received Knox's letter of 4 July 1799 by Captain Nicholson. Stoddert assures Knox that he has no intention of depriving him of his commission and that President Adams would never consent to injure any person to gratify popular clamor. Stoddert says Knox's son, Lieutenant Henry [Jackson] Knox, will be assigned to the Constellation under Captain [James] Barron. He thinks it would be most advantageous...that he serve on board of a southern ship.

Knox writes Secretary of the Navy Benjamin Stoddert on behalf of Mr. Charles Russel late acting first Lieutenant and Mr. William Amory. Knox explains they left the ship Constitution because they did not get their commissions. They are of good character and they wish to solicit President John Adams that they may be permitted to act on board of some other ship in their former ranks until it shall be proved by Capt. Nicholson himself whether they are or are not worthy of the Commissions. Docket says the letter also went to Charles Russel.

Book Description
Knox explains to Williams the situation surround Henry Jackson Knox and his refusal to accept midshipman status after being refused promotion to lieutenant. Knox's son appears to have no proper value for money, and is therefore very extravagant. Knox thought the Navy would help straighten his son out, but now Knox fears his son will be involved in a course of errors and vices which may overwhelm him. Knox asks Williams to take him on and help Henry Jackson Knox overcome his weaknesses. Knox is afraid his son's love of gambling has left a considerable debt that Knox cannot pay. Knox prefers that his son rejoin the Navy, but if that is not possible, Knox thinks it would be best if son travel to Maine to be with his parents. Henry Jackson Knox should travel by water and not land because land travel would be more expensive and he would be too distracted by bad company and tempted to stray if went by land. If President Adams is still in Philadelphia and Williams thinks it is appropriate to consult him on this matter, Knox consents to allow Williams to do so.

Book Description
Later copy of the original. Informs Ogden of the birth of his son, writes that Mrs. Knox desires her affectionate respects to Mrs. Ogden with an earnest request for her appearance here ... States that [t]he new constitution is the domestic want, and a pretty general war the European apprehension. Loving peace as I do I pray sincerely for the new constitution, believing that it will be the only means to keep the ship steady in the rising storm. Perhaps the broils of Europe and an opinion that we may be hurt amid the clashing of arms may have the affect to induce the people of this country to embrace the thing which will secure them against insult. Docket states Copied for Mr. Willard from the Originals in the Collection of Autographs of Ferdinand J. Dreer Esq. of Philada. Nov. 29 1857.

Book Description
Knox's son has been under the command of Captain Barron as a lieutenant. Knox informs Barron that despite a recommendation from John Adams, the Senate had declined to approve the nomination of the President of the United States of him as a Lieutenant of the Navy. Secretary of the Navy Stoddert suggested Henry Jackson Knox be a midshipman under Barron, but Knox believes his son would see that as a degradation. Knox asks Barron, then, if his son Henry Jackson Knox could be an acting Lieutenant with the emoluments only of a midshipman.
