Later copy. Written by Major General Knox to Secretary of War Lincoln. Congratulates Lincoln on the glorious termination of our struggles. References Lincoln's letter of 22 February. Agrees with Lincoln on the efficacy of the funds you mention, but I cannot determine upon the propriety of the Army pressing the particular funds upon Congress. Expects to see him in a few days as Washington will probably want to see Lincoln before the Army is disbanded. Says the magazines and arsenals cannot be erected without a special order from him.

Later copy. Copied 15 December 1853, in Boston, Massachusetts. Marked as private. Knox, Commander at West Point, writes to Lincoln, Secretary of War, apparently regarding the settlement of the Newburgh Conspiracy. Knox remarks, I most earnestly conjure you to urge, that every thing respecting the Army be decided upon before peace takes place. That events must be certain, therefore no time ought to be lost. The Army are anxiously waiting the result of General [Alexander] McDougalls mission... if they should be disbanded previous to a settlement, without knowing who to look to, for an adjustment of accounts... they will be so deeply stung by the injustice and ingratitude of their country as to become its Tygers and wolves. A note at the bottom of the page indicates that, as of 1853, Reverend R. C. Waterston (possibly Robert Cassie Waterston) of Boston possessed the original letter.

Later copy of GLC02437.02009. References his letter from a few days past. Says that letter mentioned a meeting of officers called for by a paper circulating around camp. Says The meeting was had yesterday, and the General will forward the proceedings to Congress - which will, I am certain make you perfectly happy. Says the meeting went well and that it will set the military character of America in a high point of view. Says that if the people have any gratitude in them they will now support the army. Wants to have the proceedings published immediately to affect public opinion on the army and asks if Lincoln can have that done. Calls Washington's address a masterly performance. References Lincoln's letter of 12 March. Hopes Colonel Dyer of Connecticut will change his vote and approve the half-pay pensions.
