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.

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 Henry Knox to William Moultrie about Society of Cincinnati Business and Major L'Enfant, 21 July 1787 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Writes to Moultrie, the president of the Society of the Cincinnati's South Carolina chapter, about society business. Reports that the Society as a whole has decided to repay Major L'Enfant for money he laid out on their behalf, but without their permission, to buy more Eagle insignias; they wanted to preserve the immaculate reputation of the Society. The Society also felt that the general credit of our country does not stand well in Europe, so they wanted to ensure that the credit of their foreign members remained in good stead. Provides details of their reimbursement of L'Enfant, including their interactions with a Captain William Thompson, who may have sold some of L'Enfant's Eagles on credit. The society has decided that regardless of the actions of Captain Thompson, the buyers are still responsible for paying the sum they owe to Major L'Enfant. See GLC02437.03273, GLC02437.03275, GLC02437.03276, GLC02437.03608 and GLC02437.03882.

Download William Eustis to Henry Knox about the Establishment of an Association Based on Military Service, 3 February 1785 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Supports the establishment of an association based on military service, writing In short there arise so many sources of mutual benefit in an association that I hope for it earnestly. Further details his interest in creating such an association: ...if a meeting should be called, and there appears no better object, where is the impropriety of a proposal to write the officers of the other states solliciting [sic] them to join in a memorial to Congress praying to be paid the interest due on our notes for pay, particularly those on which four years interest are due. If in objection to this it is said the impost will soon be granted, perhaps such an application may expedite it... Offers further arguments in support of paying the officers, a set of men whose prosperity is near my heart, (and nearer in proportion as they have been neglected by the country)...
