Marked private. Written by Brooks who had a medical practice in Medford and was a federal marshal to Secretary of War Knox. Says he was offered a chance to reenter the service by Henry Jackson. After some reflection he says he has to decline. Expresses gratitude for the offer and Knox's friendship. Says he has arrived at a period of life which will not admit of hazarding my future fortune on contingencies - such contingencies at least as present themselves to me in contemplating the appointment in question, I could answer it neither to my family, nor my own mind to relinquish my prospects here, which, altho not great, are certain, with a view to a command that promises little, if at all, more than a bare subsistance [sic]. He eventually admits the real reason for his refusal: he was offered the rank of lieutenant colonel, which was the rank he possessed from 1778-1783. Says I am not unapprehensive, should I resume the rank I held in the late army from the year 1778, to the close of the war, my friends here, & the people at large to whom I am known, would withdraw from me those marks of consideration, to which they, now suppose me to be intitled. You may perhaps now think me both vain & Squeamish: I mean to be neither. I can have no conception that a man of reflection can be insensible of his own powers, nor of the estimate made of him by the world...

Thanks Knox for his letter announcing the arrangement of the new general officers of the army. Does not feel he can provide an official opinion until he has more information about the ranks and pay scales associated with the positions, so he writes to ask Knox several questions on the subject. Among his comments about candidates, he states that he should have priority of rank over General [Marinus] Willett.

American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
