Signed for Knox and written in the hand of Samuel Shaw, Knox's aide-de-camp. Discusses the exchange of Captain Winthrop Sargent with Captain Samuel Shaw in the Massachusetts Artillery. Sargent had not been able to attend a meeting of officers (see GLC02437.02174 and GLC02437.02175), when they decided who would remain in the service but still wanted to continue serving, so Shaw volunteered to switch positions with him.
