Download Draft of a Letter to George Washington Regarding Possible British Troop Movements from Detroit [incomplete], Approximately 29 August 1790 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This appears to be a partial, preliminary draft of Knox's 29 August 1790 letter to George Washington (in the GW Papers at the Library of Congress) responding to Washington's secret communication of 27 August. In that communication, sent to the members of his Cabinet, Washington asked for opinions as to the proper response to take if the British asked for permission to travel across U.S. territory, from Detroit to the Mississippi, in order to attack Spanish posts. Writes, The fact is we cannot enter into any engagements contrary to those we have made with France. This appears to be Knox's first draft to GLC02437.09449. See also GLC02437.04709 and GLC02437.08216 for related drafts.
