Later copy. Complains about Lincoln not writing to him. Describes in great detail the battles between General Nathanael Greene and Lord Cornwallis at Guilford Court House, North Carolina, 15 March 1781. Gen. Greene fought upon the best principles. If he had been successful, Lord Cornwallis at such a distance in the Country, without communication or resource, must have been ruined. Whereas a defeat on our part could only be partial. The discipline of the enemy decided the day but our people were in high spirits, and it was probable another action must soon take place. Comments that a British fleet recently sailed to reinforce [General Benedict] Arnold.

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.
