23 October 1799
Knox, Henry, 1750-1806
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Benjamin M. Stoddert
Knox received Stoddert's letter of October 6 "through Capt. Nicholson." He is grateful to Stoddert for commissioning his son "on board of the constellation." The ship has not arrived yet in New York, however, and Knox asks that Stoddert order his son Henry to duty immediately when the ship is ready.
