Written by Secreatary of War Knox to General Sullivan. References Sullivan's letter of 30 April. Feels sorry that he was not made aware of Sullivan's son's desire to obtain a military appointment when there were still positions available. Emphasizes that the President of the United States would have been happy "to have into the army the son of so old and gallant a general." Will do his best to recommend Sullivan's son for any appropriate vacancies that become available.
