This book was released on 1788 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William, attending business in Henry's absence, transmits two letters from Lucy Knox (possibly GLC02437.03976 and GLC02437.03979).

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.

Says affairs in France have taken a turn since the King accepted the constitution. He was also given a 12,000 pound yearly allowance and was allowed to retain most of his palaces. After accepting, most of the anger about his flight from Paris was forgotten. Says vive le Roi after an interregnum of some months, is vociferated in the same notes as formerly at Paris. Says the Emperor of Germany and the King of Prussia have met to discuss the affairs of France and to give relief to King Louis. The King's recommendation to give a general pardon to refugees without exception was a made a law on a motion by Lafayette, which has already produced the effect of changing in a considerable degree the tone of that description of persons many of whom have for some time past seen the end of their resources and consequently will return to their Native country. Says Luzerne died recently in England, and believes the situation in France contributed to his demise. Says that Fran?ois-Marie, marquis de Barth?lemy, is slated to be advanced to the ambassadorship. States that George Hammond has probably already arrived in America, and the Duke of Leeds used his influence to get Hammond the job.
