Reports that Mr. Van Berckel, the Dutch ambassador to the U.S. and the husband of Madame de Leval, has purchased two lots of Courtland Street and will build a home.

Reports on personal matters and War Office business. Relates that Colonel [Edward] Carrington will accompany Lucy Knox from Trenton to New York. Discusses reports from Governor Arthur St. Clair and General Josiah Harmar on Indians in the Northwest Territory. Says many Indians have arrived at Fort Pitt...as yet it is uncertain whether they [sic] will be a great meeting of Indians or not, as many seem inclined to attend the Treaty at Detroit.

Notes that Major [John] Doughty sent Knox a return, and Jeremiah Wadsworth returned to New York.
