Unsigned, and no creator is cited. Appears to be from Knox to Price at West Point, although it is not written in Knox's hand. Knox asks Price to meet him in New York so they can travel to Boston together the following Thursday. Writes ...it will be much more agreable to me than that you should go from West Point to Springfield- I mean to go from home by water to Providence & from there by land to Boston.

Writes that he has been informed by Captain [perhaps Samuel] Jefferds that Knox has recommended him to the Massachusetts State Legislature for a lieutenancy in the artillery, for which he is thankful. However, if my accepting of a Lieutenancy should deprive me of my present Employment, I should wish to decline it. Wants to hold his rank in the Line of the Army, which he believes is a permanent appointment so long as I behave myself upright and during your pleasure. Leaves it, however, to Knox to decide.
