Document contains three parts. The first section relates that the South Carolina branch of the Society of the Cincinnati has resolved to send correspondence and a copy of a report to Cincinnati President General George Washington. The report will describe a Society committee's opinion on the behavior of Henry Knox, who sent a letter providing "information of the place for the tricennial meeting." The second part discusses how the Standing Committee believes that "Genl Knox has not treated the Society of this State with proper attention in omitting to forward his notification of the place of the general meeting of the Society in time for our Delegates to attend thereat." Third and last part noted as a copy of a letter to George Washington from Knox, signing as Secretary General, dated 14 April 1790. It states that the "triennial meeting of the Cincinnati is to be held in the City of Philadelphia on the first monday in May next."
