Captain David Cook turns to Knox to help him "advance [his] commutation." The recent "resolve of Congress" prohibits Cook from getting his friends to help him. Cook tells Knox that the problem is that "they say the Commutation amounts to more, then the arrears of pay due me." Cook has sent his own calculations for Knox to consult.
