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?

Download Henry Knox to Benjamin Lincoln about Shells, 20 May 1782 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Explains his recommendations and opinions on key issues regarding the ensuing campaign in and around New York. Relates that upon asking General George Washington when to be prepared to march his troops, General Washington claimed to be out of touch with the status of preparations, but as soon as he decided, he would let Knox know. Knox relates that this makes him uneasy, as it makes planning the ordnance and stores far more difficult. Describes recent experiments on howitzers of French and of English origin, and explains that they require different shell sizes (see GLC02437.01411), and recommends Captain [William] Stevens and Mr. [John Jacob] Faesch for the job. Recommends reproofing all the shells in Pennsylvania and Maryland because of previous accidents. Describes the recent acquisition by General Washington of cannon from the state of Virginia (see GLC02437.01394). Encloses a list of stores requested for West Point and the field, as well as one prepared by General [William] Irvine for Fort Pitt. Emphasizes the necessity of building the required number of carriages, wagons, tumbrils, and cartridges, and of obtaining the requested number of horses. Also mentions Mr. [Samuel] Hodgdon.

Download Henry Knox to Benjamin Lincoln on the Provision of Shells and the Employment of German Prisoners, 12 September 1782 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Writes in response to Lincoln's letter of 20 August. Declares, I am sorry Mr. [Robert] Morris cannot pay for any shells for the French [8?] inch howitzers, as they without shells much be useless after all the time and money which has been expended making new cartridges for them. Has asked General George Washington his opinion on employing German prisoners as armorers at Newburgh in exchange for their freedom (see GLC02437.01589), and Washington feels this is a good idea, so Knox asks Lincoln to make the appropriate arrangements. Also comments that he has received recent Congressional resolves about restructuring the department of military stores, and he will soon forward a list of those who he feels might not be most qualified to continue in service of the department.
