Henry Knox To Benjamin Lincoln About Judiciary Appointments And Revenue Collection 26 July 1789

Received General Lincoln's recent letter. Writes that Mr. Lowells character has been placed before the President but he does not know whether a personal application would be worthwhile; believes it would depend on Mr. Lowell's opinion. Adds that the House of Representatives will look at the federal bill tomorrow, which means that the President will not be ready to sign it until 10 August at least, so Mr. Lowell has time to decide. Also discusses a new bill for the collection of revenue.
