| Title | Charles McKnight to Henry Knox discussing sick soldiers |
| Date | 13 October 1782 |
| Author | McKnight, Charles (1750-1791) |
| Recipient | Knox, Henry |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Military document |
| Content Description | Would like to discuss with Knox the status of the sick soldiers in the garrison, but apparently has been prevented from doing his job fully due to the illness and indisposition of his own family in New Jersey. Declares he has received a letter from his sister "informing me that my Fathers Estate is unsettled. I will suffer a material Loss, unless I immediately attend to that business." General [William] Heath had given him some time to take care of the problem, but he was "deprived [...] by Court Martial" of the time. With Knox's permission, would like to return when his family business has been taken care of. Sends compliments to Mrs. Knox. |
