Discusses a gentleman from Boston who is attempting to obtain the position of commissary of pensioners. Asks whether the appointment to that post is granted from the state or the Continent. Relates a request from the Marquis La Gallissonni?re, possibly Augustin-F?lix-Elisabeth Barrin, asking Knox for a diploma to give to Louis Antoine Thomassin, Comte de Peynier [also spelled Peinier], Governor of Saint-Domingue and member of the Society of the Cincinnati. Notes that a gentleman of character, also a member of the Society, will be happy to deliver the diploma if Knox decides to send it. States that [t]here seems to be a danger in giving a diploma to any foreign officer, and I am so much alive to the honor of the Society in this respect that I cannot desire that for the Count de Peynier unless you should have the most acquiescent satisfaction in the safety & propriety of the measure. Adds that other members of the Society think that the Viscount de Pontives, possibly Henri-Jean-Baptiste, comte de Ponteves-Gien, was granted membership by mistake. Notes that Rochambeau or the Count de Estaing recommended him, but time & its information will convince you that he was not entitled to become a wearer of the bald eagle.
