Later copy. Marked Private. Letter from Major General Knox to Secretary of War Lincoln. Reports that the Massachusetts line has determined to apply to the state for its backpay. Says It would be useless to detail the reasons why such a settlement would be preferable to a continental one. Says it is probable that Massachusetts may decline to account for the officers subsistence, if so it must be brought before Congress.

Knox writes to Lincoln, Secretary of War. Writes, His Excellency the commander in chief has stationed me at this post, which in addition to its natural embarrassments, is attended with much greater expenses than my purse can admit. Notes that Congress arranged for extra compensation for General Alexander McDougall, a previous commander at West Point. Asks Lincoln to provide a similar arrangement for him. If this is beyond the reach of Lincoln's powers, requests that Lincoln consult Mr. Morris (possibly Gouverneur Morris, assistant superintendent of finance). How my dear sir is the relief to (arise) if that payment shall be postponed, to a day which hope can be scarcely reached?

Writes, Since my return my dear Sir I have found great difficulty in renewing our obligation at the bank I have at last by ye [the?] aid of our mutual friend Mr. Osgood obtained a farther credit (by giving a new obligation & paying the interest) of thirty days. I am under the painful necessity therefore of giving you the information & of soliciting your attention to the matter. Had I the money you would not have heard from me on the subject unless to inform you that the debt was discharged - I am particularly embarrassed at this time as prior to your receiving the money I drew for two other friends for both of which I have been obliged to advance the money.
