In Shaw's hand, and signed for Knox by Shaw. Knox replies in detail to Washington's question, whether an eastward movement of the greater part of the Continental Army would be feasible. Knox writes, I cannot see the propriety of such a measure at present, or that it would be warranted from the state of information which your Excellency gave to the Council last evening. Discusses the factors involved, including the strength of the French and British fleets near Newport, Rhode Island, and the status of American General John Sullivan's operation in Rhode Island. Considers the likelihood of British movement toward Boston. Supposes the British may conduct operations against Providence, Rhode Island. Suggests that a relatively strong force be left in the Hudson River Highlands if the Continental Army should move east. Advises against an attack on New York City, noting that the British have sufficient strength to successfully defend themselves. Argues that obtaining bread will be the greatest difficulty in supplying provisions to the Continental Army during an eastward movement. Duplicate of GLC02437.00724.
