Book excerpt: Was informed by General Benjamin Lincoln that Knox's promotion has not yet gone through, though he and the rest of Knox's friends agree that it should, and are in support of the resolution Knox has taken in case of a refusal on the part of Congress to comply with it. 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.

Adds that he knows Knox's desire to fight for his country is great, but that Knox would never do anything to injure his own personal honor. Extends congratulations regarding the birth of his son: children are a treasure which will support a person under every kind of adversity, and even compensate him for the ingratitude of his country.
