Download Henry Knox to Winthrop Sargent about Affairs in the North-West Territory, New York, and France, 23 July 1792 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
States that he is mortified that Sargent declined the office of Adjutant and Inspector General. He does not know who will be appointed. Discusses Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest territory. Writes, When I last saw the governor, he seemed undecided whether he should return until the fall - but I hope he will as his stay here will excite disa[illegible] sensations in the minds of some people. Also talks about officers who lost their horses in action at the Battle of Wabash (St. Claire's defeat, 4 November 1791) and have not been compensated yet. The last page is a later copy of the original. On this copied page, Knox discusses some pay and promotion issues, the situation in France, and the New York state governor's election. You will see by the paper that the devil is to pay in France. No subordination - all confusion. It is to be hoped, however, they will soon restore order. In New York they are all mad - part for Clinton - part for Jay - the ferment has run pretty high, but it is to be hoped is subsiding. Ends by stating that the Indian War is causing him much reproach and he would like to see it ended.

Discusses the preparation for an expedition (possibly the build-up to the Battle of Fallen Timbers that took place on 20 August 1794). Notes there have been volunteers pouring in ever since his arrival. Reports General [Charles] Scott has moved to the head of the line with a small group of men. Mentions Scott describes the men as a bunch of fighting fellows and the best party that ever came out of Kentuckey [sic]. Appears to express his doubts regarding Scott's men. Also notes some of General Scott's horses are unable to handle the expedition and that Scott plans on persuading the men to allow the regular troops at Greenville, Ohio to use the pack horses. Discusses how unhappy he was to learn that it is commonly known throughout the country that General [Anthony] Wayne and General [James] Wilkinson have a strained relationship between each other. Also mentions a conversation he had with Wilkinson where Wilkinson expressed his disgust with the service. Notes Wilkinson inquired about the question of his conduct, which Winthrop says he waived the subject away for obvious reasons. Says Wilkinson spoke of Scott as being dishonorable and a drunk. Expresses his displeasure with Cincinnati, Ohio and writes he has now been here long enough to be heartily sick of it and requests to pass the winter in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Recommends his brother for an appointment. Sends his best wishes to Mrs. Lucy Knox and the rest of the family.
