This book was released on 1799 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Williams tells Knox that many people are disappointed that Knox has chosen not to join the army. Williams worries that Knox's absence will hurt his own career: As it is I fear my military career will be bounded by a Lieutenacy in a volunteer Corps of Cavalry. He regrets not remaining a private and says since therefore I am destined for the field in case of war I may as well enter fully into the service (if I can) immediately; I wrote for this purpose a note to Genl Hamilton. Williams goes on to talk about his prowess as an artillerist and that some say he should be considered for promotion to major.
