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.

On this account, it aggravates my present unhappiness to inform you, that nothing could be done in the way we wished - and that I must get my ship ready and proceed, with my present means alone, as fast as possible to Batavia and China. Adds that the season is too far advanced to consider another route and he does not want to disappoint his creditors and patrons in Canton.
