Writes that he regrets Willett's decision not to accept an appointment as Brigadier General. Mentions that the President has read Willett's letter regarding his negative views on the Indian War. Seems to comment on many of the points Willett made in his letter (not present). Largely illegible, but contains key information on Knox's beliefs about the Indian War.
