Relates that he delayed responding to Eustis's previous correspondence in hopes that Congress would decide upon an arrangement for paying the invalids (refer to GLC02437.04414 and GLC02437.04386). If someone is specially appointed to the post of paying the invalids, and Mr. [John] Lucas (commissary of pensioners) resigns, Knox thinks Eustis can easily obtain the appointment. Predicts that the Secretary of the Treasury will make the appointment with the approval of the President. Discusses Society of the Cincinnati diplomas Eustis previously requested. Agrees with Eustis regarding the membership of the Count de Ponteves in the Society, but adds that the Count D'Estaing assured him that the appointments were legitimate.

Download William Eustis to Henry Knox Concerning Unpaid War Pensions and the Petitions of Settlers on the Waldo Patent Lands, 6 March 1790 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Discusses the pensioners and mentions: ...it is evident there are about one fifth of the pensioners of this Common Wealth who can receive no benefit from the years pay granted by Congress - their names are by some means not included in the return & they will neither receive this, not a years pay granted them by the General Court this session - To effect a thorough remedy for this evil it is absolutely necessary there should be a new inspection & return of the whole... Also suggests that the inspection be run by the federal government and to perhaps conduct an inspection in every other state too. Suggests one man be appointed to the position and held responsible for all returns. Discusses the Waldo patent and the squatters' petitions. Notes the petitions that were filed asked for Knox to give his lands to the squatters, which, Eustis states the legislature will never do. Says it is suspected that many of the petitions were filed without the petitioners' knowledge and that the Committee has delayed the case until the next session.

Download William Eustis to Henry Knox on Government Appointments and the Society of the Cincinnati, 13 November 1789 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Discusses a gentleman from Boston who is attempting to obtain the position of commissary of pensioners. Asks whether the appointment to that post is granted from the state or the Continent. Relates a request from the Marquis La Gallissonni?re, possibly Augustin-F?lix-Elisabeth Barrin, asking Knox for a diploma to give to Louis Antoine Thomassin, Comte de Peynier [also spelled Peinier], Governor of Saint-Domingue and member of the Society of the Cincinnati. Notes that a gentleman of character, also a member of the Society, will be happy to deliver the diploma if Knox decides to send it. States that [t]here seems to be a danger in giving a diploma to any foreign officer, and I am so much alive to the honor of the Society in this respect that I cannot desire that for the Count de Peynier unless you should have the most acquiescent satisfaction in the safety & propriety of the measure. Adds that other members of the Society think that the Viscount de Pontives, possibly Henri-Jean-Baptiste, comte de Ponteves-Gien, was granted membership by mistake. Notes that Rochambeau or the Count de Estaing recommended him, but time & its information will convince you that he was not entitled to become a wearer of the bald eagle.
