Asks to see a copy of a letter Samuel Shaw sent Knox regarding his dispute with a Captain John Green in Canton (now Guangzhou, China) since "[o]ther Americans, as well as Major Shaw, I find have been involved in disagreeable controversies with Capt. Green ... " Other people's accounts "render Capt Green quite odious and contemptible - but his Employers have prevailed on him to suppress them, at least for the present." States that he would like the letter to help his friend, Captain Thomas Truxtun, to "satisfy his Owners, that he was not the Aggressor in Canton."
