This book was released on 1791 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fears he is bothering Knox by continuing to bring up the status of Captain [Denis Nicholas] Cottineau [de Kloguene]'s claim to be admitted as a member of the Society of the Cincinnati (he spells it Sincinaty). Says he wrote twice to Knox, but has not received a response. Reports that Cottineau writes Zollickoffer from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, whenever he can, for this information. Hopes Knox can find some information by which means Capt. Cottineau would be more easier than he appears. Mentions that Cottineau reported, in his letter of 25 May 1791, that the General of Hispaniola wrote to D'Estaing on the subject but received no answer. Because of this, Cottineau apparently believes that Your Excellency Himself may have received the necessary certificate which was requested, and that not receiving the Diploma, he think it my neglect.
