Williams writes Knox about his son Henry Jackson Knox and hopes that his son intends to return to his ship. Williams comments on the changes in the administration which I think forebodes a settlement of some sort or other with France. Williams says it is assumed that Adams will lose the next election. Talks about a meeting of Federalists who want to run Pinckney and Adams equally, which Adams will see as abandonment. He wishes rather to take the chance of being second to Jeff than to P. Relates a letter James McHenry sent to him saying that he wished Williams to have a post in the Secretary of State's department. Williams accepted and began the work, only to be told by President [John] Adams that he was appointing someone else.

Knox explains to Williams the situation surround Henry Jackson Knox and his refusal to accept midshipman status after being refused promotion to lieutenant. Knox's son appears to have no proper value for money, and is therefore very extravagant. Knox thought the Navy would help straighten his son out, but now Knox fears his son will be involved in a course of errors and vices which may overwhelm him. Knox asks Williams to take him on and help Henry Jackson Knox overcome his weaknesses. Knox is afraid his son's love of gambling has left a considerable debt that Knox cannot pay. Knox prefers that his son rejoin the Navy, but if that is not possible, Knox thinks it would be best if son travel to Maine to be with his parents. Henry Jackson Knox should travel by water and not land because land travel would be more expensive and he would be too distracted by bad company and tempted to stray if went by land. If President Adams is still in Philadelphia and Williams thinks it is appropriate to consult him on this matter, Knox consents to allow Williams to do so.
