Discusses placement of regiments and guards, including the Invalid Regiment, for the coming winter. Comments briefly on military stores (such as the amount of rachets on hand) and then recounts that General [Alexander] MacDougall's troops in Connecticut are displeased because they will be losing a guard after inspections, and Knox suggests that permitting them to continue having a guard would probably induce a continuance of favor. Asks for instructions regarding the road for the hospital, and after enquiring to Verplanks about the quality of wood they have there, he has determined they have no more than fifty cords of wood and it is all on the water side, though there is plenty more wood on the West side. Asks General Washington to order Hatch coats for his post as well as several others and estimates the amount they would need. Lastly, discusses the prospects of Colonel [possibly Heman] Swift after the removal of his position.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentions that he has received General Washington's letter of 5 September, regarding repairs of arms. Declares that each brigade's own armorers have been performing the repairs to the best of their ability, and that that is the only option, since there is not one hired armorer in the Army of the United States. Your Excellncy must have been misinformed with respect to any armorers at this post, as there are none here. Explains that brigades have traveling forges consisting of borax and salt, and that they can be sent to Verplanks Point. Has sent someone to Philadelphia to purchase borax on credit and expects it to arrive soon. Reports that he has asked General [Benjamin] Lincoln to provide armorers to the West Point garrison; at first, Lincoln responded that they could not afford to pay them, but then asked about the propriety of employing German prisoners who were armorers and wanted their freedom (see GLC02437.01546). Knox believes this is a bad idea, but wants to know Washington's opinion. Lastly discusses the matter of a Captain of the York Levies, who has been punished more harshly than necessary for a misdeed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relates some of his experiences at the commissioner meeting in Elizabeth Town to negotiate a prisoner exchange. Suspects that many of the propositions the patriots made were discussed in New York by a council before any decisions were made by the British. Believes they never shall obtain justice or equal treatment from the Enemy unless they are in a position to demand it. Refers to a report (GL02437.01377), and a private letter, (GL02437.01395). Also discusses his and Washington's belief that several unnamed persons are providing intelligence to the British. Comments on whether they should establish a post at Elizabeth Town and believes the intelligence from a post at that location would be valuable. Suggests that if prisoners were exchanged by the north River, it would prevent much improper communication which unavoidably prevails at present. Thanks Washington heartily for a letter of recommendation he wrote which facilitated Knox's promotion to Major General. Sends regards to Mrs. Washington. Mentions a Colonel M. Ogden (likely Matthias Ogden) and a Colonel Smith.
