If Knox is promoted and needs a new aide, Shaw describes a young man, Samuel Newman, from the Boston area who he believes would be a good choice: He is sensible, brave, and good natured, in short, my dear sir, I think he is a gentleman who would suit you very well, and were I to be consulted in the choice of a fellow laborer, he is one to whom I would give the preference. Adds that this man will accept a lieutenancy in Crane's regiment until such time as he may be promoted to aide, and suggests Knox recommend this man to other officers if Knox does not have a vacancy. Also refers to news of a speech by the King of Great Britain to Parliament, and Parliament's response; believes there is not much in the speech to suggest their plans for the ensuing years, and that speeches like this have generally been calculated rather to amuse than to instruct the nation. Hopes that their own forces will be ready regardless of any steps Britain may take.

Knox advises against sending troops from the northern Continental force to the southward ... supposing the events at Charlestown [Charleston, South Carolina] to prove unfortunate. Writes, The great number of negroes and disaffected people in North and South Carolina will always render the conquest of that country comparatively easy with the more northern parts of the continent... But I cannot think it obligatory on Your Excellency to detach any troops at present from your small army; especially as you will be necessitated to garrison West Point with parts of it... Asserts that maintenance of the Hudson River posts should take precedence over other military concerns. Comments on the possible outcomes of a British attack on West Point. Writes, The enemy by being in possession of the water, have it amply in their power to distress and harass us; but it would be highly imprudent and unwise in us to divide our force so as to be incapable of making opposition in any place... I think therefore it would be rather improper at present to detach any troops because the situation of the force under Your Excellency relative to that of the enemy in New York would not permit it- Argues that the militia in North and South Carolina should turn out to assist the Continental Army.
