Book excerpt: Writes to inform Knox that despite his generous offer to bring his family to West Point, I must again from urgent and impossible family reason beg leave of absence for the winter. Says that if it is not in Knox's power to grant his request, perhaps a few lines written to General George Washington would be able to help. Declares that he has children to look after, and is debilitated in health due to heavy military service, for which the country has not shown its gratitude. Adds that General Washington's suggestion that two field officers should remain with a regiment suggests that West Point has become a frontier a subtle enemy could exploit, should they mean to prosecute a war. Argues, however, that he is residing near camp so he could be of service if necessary.

Expresses his wishes at length for a time when they no longer have to be separated. Reports that William, his brother, should have recently sailed (for Holland), but the departure of four British warships from New York, to counteract the Penobscot Expedition, has postponed William's plans to sail. Speculates as to the marriage of Lady Kitty and Mr. Duer (Catherine Alexander and William Duer), as Kitty had kept it a secret. Relates that he asked Colonel [May?] if Kitty and William were married, and May believed it was true that they were married for that the night before they had slept together at his house. This was convincing to me... I did not believe that Lady would merely for the Sake of the Jest and without any counter security go to bed even to Mr. Duer.
