Title
Addressing McHenry's Place in the Hamilton Relative Rank Intrigues
Description
Authorizes the commissioning of generals of the army in the order of Knox, Pinckney, and Hamilton, and asks McHenry to call Knox and Hamilton into service whenever he deems fit. Answers McHenry's demand for explanation of an implication of McHenry in the relative rank intrigues by saying that he believes McHenry has always dealt with him candidly, but that he perhaps influenced Washington into asking that Hamilton be made first general in the field. However, Adams declares the matter settled.
