Download Samuel Shaw to Henry Knox Discussing the Anniversary of Independence, Family and Political Matters, 8 August 1785 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Shaw, Knox's former aide-de-camp, writes a friendly letter to discuss a variety of matters. First, he forwards Mr. Gardiner's oration on the anniversary of independence. If you can travel through so much various matter as it is composed of, it will be a strong proof of your perseverance. References a letter he sent Knox on 1 August, saying that it was written in the bitterness of my soul, and what is worse, a bitterness which still continues; he is having problems settling his father's estate, and is resigned that the outcome will not benefit himself or any of his siblings. Relates some information about a navigation act regarding the British, and hopes Congress will exercise its powers. Finally, discusses a dispute between the towns of Boston and Roxbury, Massachusetts, that has been occurring over the last two weeks, regarding enforcement of an act prohibiting people from riding out on Sundays. Recounts the way the lawyer, Mr. Benjamin Hickbourn [most sources say Hichborn] resolved the dispute with Judge Boardman of Roxbury.
