Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indicates that he found an indentured servant, Thomas Eliot, for Lucy (see Lucy's request for one in GLC02437.00383) and has purchased three years of his labor. Mentions that Captain Sebastian Bauman's family have gone into the Jersies and asks why she inquired about them. Comments on Lucy's loyalist family. Tells the story of a formal visit of adjutant general of General William Howe's army in which he attempted to deliver a letter addressed to George Washington Esqr. The envoy failed for the same reason as an earlier attempt to deliver a letter to negotiate a truce: because it refused to expressly acknowledge George Washington as a general (see GLC02437.00375 and GLC02437.00378). The messenger also claimed that he came with powers to pardon and it was retorted that he came to the wrong place because the Americans had not offended. Knox praises how Washington dealt with the situation and remarks that Colonel Israel Putnam was awe struck by it. Relays news of General Charles Lee's recent victory over the British at Fort Moultrie in Charleston, South Carolina. Discusses the possibility of Lucy and their baby daughter going to Boston to contract the weak strain of smallpox circulating there in order to be inoculated, as was suggested by William Knox (see GLC02437.00382).
Book Synopsis Henry Knox to George Washington about Prisoners of War, 21 April 1782 by : Henry Knox
Download or read book Henry Knox to George Washington about Prisoners of War, 21 April 1782 written by Henry Knox and published by . This book was released on 1782 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Copy in Samuel Shaw's hand and signed by him for both Knox and Morris. Knox and Morris assumed the public would be interested in the POW report they recently submitted to Congress, so they wrote this letter for Washington with information they excluded from that report to avoid its publication. Says they had no opportunity of bringing forward distinctly the affairs of Mr. Laurens. By pushing it abruptly into notice we might have obstructed but would not have forwarded your views for his release. Had our general propositions been acceded to, his exchange would have followed necessarily. Had they acceded to those terms which would have justified us in consenting to partial exchanges, that of Mr. Laurens would have been brought forward among the foremost. Says they hinted that Laurens might be exchanged for Lord Cornwallis. They think the British are willing to work with the Americans to get these exchanges concluded in a satisfactory manner. Reports on the board of directors -- a group appointed by the British Ministry -- that is dealing with prisoner exchanges with the British commanders in America. They say We are thoroughly convinced that this board and their powers are more odious and more disagreeable to the British army than to us. The disgust against them among the military is general, but they have numerous adherents among the disaffected. Says mutual hatred and jealousy between the two is apparent. Says We are convinced that the late murder of Captain Huddy [this is a reference to the Huddy-Asgill affair] was by their authority. Tells Washington that if he presses the issue, he might split the generals and the board even further. Also says Should a British officer be executed in consequence of a refusal to deliver up or punish the guilty, the resentments of the army will be proportionably inflamed. (a British officer was held for execution in retaliation, but was eventually released). Says there are other problems behind the British lines, as Tory refugee troops are upset about the possibility of being sent to the West Indies. The Tories fear the crown will desert them as soon as they can. Says commerce is at an ebb in New York and that the quantity of goods in New York is smaller than is generally supposed. Reports that a pardon might push the Tories out of the British camp and truly hurt their enemies. Says There are many things which it is imprudent to commit to paper, and which Colo. Smith will inform you of. Says there is reason to believe the British will not pay for the upkeep of the Convention Army (the captured troops from the Battle of Saratoga in 1777).

Heard that Lucy fell down some stairs and was worried. Remarks that the British have not acted and are possibly awaiting reinforcements. Mentions that the smallpox going around lacked virulence and he wished she had received it (in order to be inoculated). In response to Lucy's question, indicates that Mrs. Airey did not offend him, but did engage in duplicitous conduct, which he hates.
