Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes the visit of Mr. John Pope or Colonel Pope who was from near Richmond, Virginia. Reports that Pope claimed to have gone down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers last spring in the employ of Patrick Henry and David Ross of the Virginia Yazoo Company. Pope claims to have met the governor of New Orleans (Miro Estevan) traveling up the Mississippi to the Walnut Bluffs to build a military base. He then went to Pensacola, and up the Alabama River, meeting Alexander McGillivray of the Creek Nation. He arrived at McGillivray's on 27 May, staying at his house 7 days, and staying with the Creek nation for a total of 7 weeks. Pope claims that McGillivray spoke affectionately of President Washington, calling him his adopted Father. McGillivray showed Pope an epaulet, which was apparently a gift from Washington. Reports that Pope believes the letter published under McGillivray's name is a forgery written by a Michael Jones. As proof, Pope produced a passport that Jones forged. Pope believes that McGillivray will not oppose the Yazoo settlements. Note in pencil on page 1 says this was sent to Carrington, a reference to Richmond native Edward Carrington, who later gave Knox an opinion on Pope (see GLC02437.05195).

Book excerpt: Opens by thanking Knox for his role in obtaining Carrington a presidential appointment [as marshal of Virginia]. He then discusses the French revolution, writing that [t]he Revolution in France is as singular as it is important to the cause of Liberty. It is perhaps the first instance in the History of Nations of a King & his people uniting to extend the Rights of the latter in abridging the power and privileges of the Nobles. The Common tendency of Revolutions founded in a [sense] amongst the people of oppression from the Nobility has ever been to an implicit surrender of every thing unto the hands of the Sovereign to say nothing of ancient Precedents, the modern, nay recent, Revolution in Denmark & Sweden terminated thus: there is in France a spirit never before known in the old world; my pride suggests that it was imbibed from America, and I am compleatly [sic] gratified in being that a Son of America did in the extremity of confusion, 'Mount the Whirlwind & direct the Storm.' Sends greetings to Mrs. Knox and mutual friends. Stamped Richmond. Free stamped on address leaf with no signature.

This book was released on 1792 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informs Carrington that he has received his letters concerning appointments for young officers and that though they generally arrived too late, he will keep them in mind for future consideration. States that there were many more applications than positions. Speaking about the last session of Congress, he writes, The indian war, and the failure of the last expedition combined with a partial aversion to the government excited much ill humor during the last session. It was thought proper by a party, to levell some shafts at me....Parties will arise in free governments - and party prejudice is proverbally blind. Asks about the general Machine in Virginia and comments on prosperity in Pennsylvania. Discusses the New York governor's election, [John] Jay it would seem had a majority of votes - but [George] Clinton is the governor ...the essence of republicanism is done away and if a man can perpetuate himself to office by a minority. Also comments he has heard that some one in Virginia wants Clinton to run for Vice President against John Adams and wants to know if this is true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks him for his recent letter. Writes, Your suggestion as to the advantages to be derived from a personal attendance at the metropolis, is constantly found in the experience of Mankind & I am satisfied that such a step would give me a better appearance of success than I can otherwise have, but [were] this situation were it to continue for any length of time, would be painful to me, and no judgment can be [favored] when the arrangements of the Government will bring forward its permanent appointments. Is presently engaged in public business, but will travel to New York in early summer if he finishes the business by then. Writes, I shall adopt your advice in making a communication of my wishes to the President as soon as I am informed that he has accepted his appointment. This is a step that I should feel much difficulty in taking, but for the consideration that it will be perhaps, the only proper mode of tendency over services to the public. Adds a postscript regarding a new appointment that was made prior to his announcing his attention to seek a position.
