Download George Washington to Henry Knox Offering Condolences to Knox for the Deaths of Three of His Children, 2 March 1797 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Thanks Knox for a letter recently received. Offers condolences to Knox for his recent losses (three of Knox's children died 1796-1797, including his seven year old son named after George Washington). Washington complains of those who lack confidence in and have criticized his leadership, stating that they will be satisfied with nothing short of a change in our political system. Writes that he looks forward to the prospect of retirement, but is not without my regrets at parting with (perhaps never more to meet) the few intimates whom I love, among these, be assured you are one. Has heard, through Mr. Bingham, that Knox is doing well in Maine (Knox retired in 1795 to Montpelier, his estate in Thomaston, Maine). After retirement, expects to be occupied in rural amusements, and not to travel more than twenty miles from Mount Vernon. Hopes his friends and colleagues will visit him. Relates that in two days, on 4 March, he will leave his position as President, and shall witness the inauguration of his successor, John Adams. Declines to say more about politics, and sends his and Martha's good wishes to Knox and his family. Docketed twice, one of them being an extensive Henry Knox autograph endorsement.
