Written and initialed for Knox in the hand of Samuel Shaw, Knox's aide-de-camp. Writes, "Capt. [Thomas] Machin is desirous of going to Philadelphia for a few days, to transact some business relative to the recruiting service for this State. If his absence for a short time will not interfere with his trial and your Excellency has no objection, I would recommend him for the indulgence requested."
