Williams discusses Knox's business affairs and debts. Williams explains to Knox that he would decline a military commission from President Adams, meaning no disrespect. Williams says, "In serious truth I had rather have a civil than a military station, tho' were I 15 years younger and a war impending I would prefer it to all this."
