Winslow acknowledges receiving Secretary of War Knox's letter written 14 October. Winslow mentions a controversy between Mrs. Waldo and Us believing that Knox had a conviction either of the policy, or propriety of it. Winslow wishes to find employment but is unable to find anything. No doubt Knox will be ever near the Fountain of Federal business and Winslow hopes to get a position. Says he has not gone to the [Waldo] patent, as Knox wished, due to the hostile disposition of some inhabitants there and his own present embarrass'd condition. Discusses Cox's petition, land sales, and other details related to Knox's land. Complains that the property is depreciating, and that local residents regularly take timber from Knox's land.

Received his last letter, which excites in me the most grateful sensations. Did not know of any person who had a superior Claim upon Government office in the region than he did. Thought that all Congressional appointments would be made independently of the previous appointments given by state governments, before the new federal government had come into existence. Adds that Mr. [George] Thatcher (he spells it Thacher), the Congressional representative for his region, has corresponded with several merchants to find candidates for the import and export offices. Seems to suggest that local politicians and local merchants are in such good acquaintance that appointments might be handed out based on favoritism. Further, Winslow has resided only briefly in Portland, and has no mercantile concerns as such, so fears he will be deemed unsuitable. Discusses his prospects and hopes that Knox might be able to help him receive an appointment.
