Book Description
Received Knox's letter of 19 April 1791. Comments on young Mr. [William] Balch and calls him, a wild citizen, yet I think he has many qualifications which will recommend him as an officer - He very well knows that he cannot sport with his character and hold his rank in the army. Talks extensively about the job of army surgeon and why Dr. William Eustis did not accept the appointment. Eustis could not be guaranteed a rank equal to his experience and Besides the pay of the surgeon of a regiment, though handsome for a young Gentleman whose wish is to introduce himself into life is no temptation to a Gentleman already established to leave the City, give up his friends, and an extensive & lucrative practice & submit to the fatigues of the camp. Also states that if Dr. Eustis could be convinced that his services would be used to the fullest and not be marred by the controul [sic] of others, he would not hesitate one moment to accept it and would leave the arms of his friends here in which he is embraced with the utmost tenderness and affection... Encloses something for Mr. Lear (not present).

Book Description
Later copy. Written by Major General Knox to Secretary of War Lincoln. Arrived in Newburgh three days earlier. Was at West Point with the officers of the Army and find them generally much discontented. Says the problems revolve around the issuing of provisions. Says Tomorrow it is proposed to celebrate with a good deal of taste & some pomp, the birth of the dauphin. I am sorry we shall have such a bad sauce to the feast, as the late unfortunate event in the West Indies (the French fleet under de Grasse was defeated by British Admiral Rodney on 12 April off the coast of Dominica).

Book Description
Later copy. Complains about Lincoln not writing to him. Describes in great detail the battles between General Nathanael Greene and Lord Cornwallis at Guilford Court House, North Carolina, 15 March 1781. Gen. Greene fought upon the best principles. If he had been successful, Lord Cornwallis at such a distance in the Country, without communication or resource, must have been ruined. Whereas a defeat on our part could only be partial. The discipline of the enemy decided the day but our people were in high spirits, and it was probable another action must soon take place. Comments that a British fleet recently sailed to reinforce [General Benedict] Arnold.

Hopes Lincoln will use his influence to get a decision from Congress as soon as possible.

Comments on Anti-Federalists in New York and the likelihood that New York will adopt the Constitution. Notes The real disposition of New Hampshire seems to be concealed regarding ratification.
