The letter was passed to St. John by George Washington and was accompanied by other papers discussing affairs of the Society of the Cincinnati (William does not include the other papers mentioned). Discusses financial transactions he apparently conducted on Knox's behalf, including payment of a reward for capturing a deserter from Lieutenant Kersey's troops (see GLC02437.03960). Transmits news of the Constitution and projected location of Congress: Congress have undone yesterday all they had heretofore done with respect the Ordinance, and nothing today has been transacted on the business so that where they will next meet is uncertain. North Carolina has rejected the Constitution by a great Majority.

This book was released on 1788 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William, attending business in Henry's absence, transmits two letters from Lucy Knox (possibly GLC02437.03976 and GLC02437.03979). Notes that Congress recently addressed the question of its permanent location. Six states were in favor of New York, while four were in favor of Philadelphia, so the question was lost as seven states are necessary for the decision.

Mentions ...the [British] prohibition of the wheat from this Country on account of the Hessian Fly. Notes that one of Henry's cows is missing and Caesar, possibly a slave or servant, has been searching for her.

Download or read book William Knox to Henry Knox about Britain's European Tensions and Press Gangs and America's Possible Benefits from a European War, 7 April 1791 written by William Knox and published by . This book was released on 1791 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William had previously sent a packet to Knox that included Paynes [Thomas Paine] pamphlet in answer to Burke on the french revolution. William tells his brother, therefore the present is only to enclose you the papers since then, by which you will see from the debates in the English House of Lords and Commons and the preparations making, that Great Britain is about incurring a few more millions of debt, and (if the Empress should prove inflexible which in all probability she will) plunging the greater part of Europe into a War by sea and land - However distressing to humanity such an event may be, it appears America may keep herself entirely out of the scrape, and supply naval stores Iron etc. which were supplied from the Baltic, and once in possession of that advantageous trade by proper management may keep it. He notes that the impressment of seamen has begun in England and will likely spread to Ireland soon in which case, William says, there will be a repetition of those inconveniences which existed in England and here during the Spanish business, that is, impressing seamen from the vessels of Foreign nations, and leaving it to be proved afterwards that they were unwarrantedly taken - the Americans feel more of this from speaking the same language than any other nation - The English in the late business in many instances took sailors who had resided many years in America, married and settled there, but born in the British dominion; indeed they looked on every man born in the territories belonging at present to England as their lawful subjects, had their time of residence been long or short in America - William says that an old law of Britain prevents any British citizen from expatriating himself . Comments he will do what he can in Ireland for American sailors so impressed and plans to write to the Secretary of State [Thomas Jefferson] on the matter. In a postscript, tells Knox that the Whig Club here have resolved to have Paines pamphlet disseminated throughout the kingdom at their own expence.
