This book was released on 1781 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knox writes to his wife from Philipsburgh (present-day Sleepy Hollow, New York). ... I have never found any absence from [Lucy] so truly insupportable as the present. I am alone amidst a croud [sic], and unhappy without my companion. Bemoans the War: ...vile I call it because it is a War upon the affections of humanity. It has deprived us of the right enjoyment of six years, long years of our Life-- a period infinitely too long to be engrossed by other objects than the business of Love. Discusses a recent reconnaissance mission to assess the British force in New York City with optimism, stating that many of the British troops in the vicinity will soon depart for Virginia. Reports that some of the Marquis de Lafayette's troops, led by General Anthony Wayne, had a recent encounter with the British under Lord Cornwallis (Knox is possibly referring to the engagement at Green Spring plantation 6 July 1781). Refers to General Nathanael Greene's May-June 1781 Siege of Ninety-Six, and praises Greene's actions in the south: His conduct has exhibited him a great man, and established his reputation beyond the powers of malice to injure it lastingly. Mentions arranging a place for Lucy to stay at a Dr. [Darbys] house. Possibly discussing slaves or servants, asks, whether you are pleas'd with your [Servant]. I want to know whether I can get Cato, you will exchange him for William... Lacks closing and possibly the address leaf.

Download or read book Henry Knox to John Jay about the Siege of Yorktown, 21 October 1781 written by Henry Knox and published by . This book was released on 1781 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indicates that French ships are about to dispatch with official accounts of the Battle of Yorktown. Knox feels he should tell Jay what has occurred because an official account from Congress may not be immediately forthcoming. Although the British had less forces in America than in 1776 or 1777, the Continental Army was compelled to attack Yorktown or consider the southern states lost. The Comte de Grasse was of similar opinion, and plans to attack New York were abandoned in favor of a siege of Yorktown. A detailed, chronological explanation of the Allied forces' actions between 27 September 1781 and 19 October 1781 follows in the clerical copy, Knox's original indicates that the text should replicate that in a letter to John Adams (see GLC02437.01251 and GLC02437.01252). A postscript indicates that George Washington sent Jay authenticated copies of Lord Cornwallis' capitulation. This copy of this letter is the original and GLC02437.01254 is a handwritten clerical copy made by Judge William Jay on 25 August 1856. Concluding paragraph, beginning This important affair, the closing salutation, Knox's signature, and the postscript are in Shaw's hand.
