| Content Description | Acknowledges Knox's letter on 10 November. Says he is sending a packet of "publick prints" that will explain the latest European political scene. England is in the process of making a peace with Spain, and Maunsell predicts that France will accept its new constitution. Mentions that William Knox has gone to Ireland and that Maunsell and P. Brett have seen him often. Tells Knox "our ministor" has been so occupied with the "Spanish business" that he has not had time to attend to other affairs including the United States. All correspondence between William Knox and America will go through Brett " for safety, and to save money." Asks Knox to give his regards to Horatio Gates and Robert Morris and his family. |
