Book Synopsis Henry Knox to William Eustis on a Military Appointment and the Society of the Cincinnati, 13 December 1789 by : Henry Knox
Book excerpt: 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.
