Autograph letter signed
Title: to Henry Knox
Wants to know when General George Washington will be in town so he can pay his respects before Washington returns to Virginia. States that the treatment of Loyalists in New York City is much to the honor of the U.S. military and nation as a whole, though since Britain renounced all claims to its American colonies, the Loyalists should now feel bound to the new American government.
