Hopes for a final settlement of his affairs, presumably his military accounts. Notes that when he entered the service, he was promised an indemnification of his losses in Canada, and a commission was appointed to hear related evidence. Congress has since failed to confirm the commission's findings, and Hazen does not know who is responsible for the long delay in settling his affairs.
Signed in text as Genl. Hazen. Discusses difficulties in reaching a final settlement for his military affairs and gives detailed information related to his struggle to reach a settlement. Mentions others involved, including [William] Duer and General [Jedediah] Huntington. Declares, Is there an Executor in this nation or any one that represents it in the recess of the Legislater. If not what have we been fiting [sic] for these seven years. Related to GLC02437.04430; date and location inferred from content and from a note written on the document at a later date.
Writes to Maunsell on behalf of Moses Hazen. Notes Hazen served in the last war and has been confined for several years to his bed from a stroke. Says Hazen's ill health has also caused embarrassment to Hazen's pecuniary affairs. Congress had promised Hazen indemnification for the loss of Hazen's British half pay. Knox asks Maunsell to apply to Mr. Brett for an official certificate from the British pay office. Noted as a copy on the docket.
Forwards a letter from the pay office. Notes that Hazen was mistaken with respect to the proportion of pay which was advanced to the army in 1782 and 1783. Writes that it is not in his power to advance Hazen any funds. Related to GLC02437.04430, GLC02437.04431, and GLC02437.04432.
Received a letter from Knox on the same day (GLC02437.04433). The letter included an enclosure from [Joseph] Howell. Agrees that there must be some mistake with his accounts, because he never received the sums Howell listed. Related to GLC02437.04430 and GLC02437.04431.
Written from Lancaster, likely in Pennsylvania. Remarks that he wrote some days ago to the commanding officer at Reading about the servants Knox wanted, and if servants are to be had there, he will have them sent out to Knox. If not, he will try further. Asks that he and Mrs. Hazen be remembered to Mrs. Knox.
Thanks Maunsell for his kindness to their mutual friend [possibly General Moses] Hazen. Alludes to the current unfortunate situation of Hazen, as well as his possession of as obstinate a temper as ever afflicited [sic] humanity.
Would be happy to help Mr. Hays if he had the power to do so. However, it appears that Mr. Hays's not being a current resident of Rhode Island is a formidable barrier in securing him the appointment. Regardless of this problem, if he would like to submit a letter to the President about the position, Knox will present it to him.
Encloses five accounts and asks Wadsworth to sign them, noting that his signature is necessary for the accounts' settlement. Asks him to return all warrants that will not be paid before 15 December, as Knox wishes to close his accounts with the treasury before that date. Discusses the French Revolution: What an uproar in France! The instability of human affairs has never been displayed in stronger colors! The clouds and darkness hang on the issue. Mentions the Marquis de Lafayette. Adds that he is sorry to hear that Wadsworth and his children have the influenza.
