Replies to Eustis, Vice President of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati. Eustis had previously written regarding Knox's appointment by the State Society of Massachusetts to attend the general meeting, scheduled for May in Philadelphia. Agrees to attend, but only for a few days. Discusses the society's need to form a constitution, noting that it should be unanimously embraced. Adds that the May meeting will be "without effect" if the delegates are not conferred with the power to create a constitution.
