Jonathan Williams to Henry Knox, 14 December 1781 by Jonathan Williams PDF Summary

Book Description: Happy to receive news of Lord Cornwallis' surrender: The Effect this reverse of Fortune has on the British Government is similar to what we often see in a man mad with Rage - Vengeance, Death Destruction foams at his mouth although he has not strength enough left to manage his weapon. Discusses the perspectives of the British King, Lords and Commons and their attitudes toward the American victory. Talks about Major Franks's arrival in Nantes and his acquaintance with Knox. Wishes he could be galloping by your Side in pursuit of an Enemy; I have not much confidence in myself, but I think Stimulated by your Example, I could not behave ill. Mentions visits from Knox's brother William, and adds he wishes circumstances could permit me to enjoy the same pleasure with you, but I love my Country too well to desire you to be absent from it, & I have been so long planted here, that I must continue to negotiate till I can go to live in America. Asks to be remembered to Henry Jackson and sends regards to Mrs. Knox; adds, I have a female Friend who will be glad of the acquaintance when she goes to America, & a little One who may be a playmate to one of yours.
