The requisition has been laid before the house & I suppose will pass without trouble, tho' I confess I know little about it- for a moment, I steped [sic] into the Gallery yesterday & heard a member say something about the Troops having only clothing & provisions, that the Western lands were an object worthy the attention of the soldiers, whom he supposed would think themselves well paid by going at the public expense to a country where each of them might furnish himself with a quantity of excellent land. I did not stay to hear any thing further on the Subject. I suppose they will raise their quota, & as to any thing more - Congress will take care, at least, it is their business to do it. Also mentions that the insurgents seem pitiful, though he has heard that Shay [Daniel Shays] is recruiting men in the country. Finally, relates the details of a recent meeting with the Governor.

Book excerpt: Writes, The insurgents who were assembled at Worcester in Massachusetts have disbanded- The people at Boston seem to be glad at this event and say it was the effect of fear- But the fact is that the insurgents effected their object, which was to prevent the Court of Common Pleas from proceeding to business. It is probable that the seizing some of the insurgents at Middlesex occasioned a greater number of them to assemble at Worcester than otherwise would have assembled merely on Account of preventing the common Pleas. Adds that it appears that the government planned to bring the insurgents to action but was prevented by uncommonly deep snow. Declares, The commotions of Massachusetts have wrought prodigious changes in the minds of men in that State respecting the Powers of Government every body says they must be strengthned, and that unless this shall be effected, there is no Security for liberty or Property. Hopes to see Washington along with Colonel [Jeremiah] Wadsworth in Philadelphia in a few days. Retained copy.

Book excerpt: Writes that Jackson must be anxious and surprised that he has not yet heard from Knox on the subject of clothing & rations. The fact is that I have been unable to give you any satisfaction on these points. Writes, Congress came to the determination of raising troops from the necessity of the case, and had the funds necessary to carry their resolutions into effect been at their command, every arrangement depending on the war department would ere now have been at least in a train of execution. But the funds indispensible [sic] for an energetic establishment have been to be provided. [...] I have been steadily of opinion that the public had better suffer all the injuries arising from a want of troops than to raise them without being able to provide for them completely in all respects. under this impression I have made some attempts to influence the rich in support of government, and the ensuing week will determine whether I have been as successful as I have believed. Has not had much success with the monied men of Boston. If Jackson had money, he would encourage him to begin recruitment. Discusses the size and cost of rations, as well as the arms and equipment he ordered for Jackson. Has also asked Mr. [Samuel] Hodgdon to send Jackson the equipment destined for New Hampshire; when that state decides to raise troops, Jackson can forward the equipment to them. Needs to pay taxes on his Falmouth lands and is having trouble raising the money, so asks if he may be able to borrow from Jackson; otherwise they might sell the land. Written and signed for Knox in a secretarial hand.

Download or read book Henry Knox to Benjamin Hichborn, 26 December 1786 written by Henry Knox and published by . This book was released on 1786 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writes that he received a letter regarding Mr. [Stephen] Bruce's contracting to provide rations for the troops currently being raised. Would be happy to consider him for the contract, but his powers are constrained as the Board of Treasury has agreed on the principles of an extensive contract for all the demands of the establishment. The Board is apparently planning to select one contractor to provide payment, clothing, and rations, and other supplies. Seems to suggest it might be possible for Mr. Bruce to contract with the one overarching contractor. Under these circumstances, the profit would be less, but the payments would be more certain. Would be happy to put Mr. Bruce's name into contention. Also discusses the Massachusetts insurgents.
