Knox, Secretary of War, replies to a 10 April letter from Biddle. Discusses "furnishing the Pennsylvania quota of troops with rations," noting that he wrote a public letter to Biddle on the same topic (this letter is marked "private" on the docket). Writes, "I wish the business would be worthy of your attention- The treasury are so poor that they cannot make other payments than by warrants." Regrets that he can not assist Biddle more in the matter. Noted as "a copy" on the docket.
