[The Honorable Colonel Jeremiah Wadsworth Hartford]
New York 28th November 1789
My dear friend
I enclose five accounts on which I pray you to place your signature, the receipts from you being necessary to the fulfilment of my accounts
Agreeably to your idea which I last saw you, I will thank you for the return of all the warrants which shall not be in a train of being paid by the 15th of next month as I wish to close my accounts with the treasury by that day. Be pleased to let me know the amount of money that you will probably receive by that time, and the amount of the warrants which will be on hand.
What an uproar in France! The mutability of human affairs has never been displayed in stronger colors! Clouds and darkness seem to hang over the true! Our friend the Marquis de la Fayette, how critically circumstanced!
I am sorry to learn that you and your lovely Children have been afflicted with the universal influenza — I hope you and they have surmounted it before this time
I am my dear friend
Yours affectionately
Knox
Colonel J. Wadsworth
