| Title | Daniel Fowle apologizes to Henry Knox for not paying a debt |
| Date | 21 May 1773 |
| Author | Fowle, Daniel (1715-1787) |
| Recipient | Knox, Henry |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Business and financial document |
| Content Description | Responds to a letter from Knox with an apology for not fully paying a debt. Comments that it is the nature of the business conducted by him and his kinsman, Robert Fowle, "to credit out the chief of it for twelve months--without interest." Also attributes the delay to the fact that Robert recently returned from Philadelphia and has just recovered from smallpox. A postscript indicates that Oliver Whipple, Robert's attorney, has some money that can be used to pay the debt. For other discussions of this debt, see GLC02437.00097, GLC02437.00102 and GLC02437.00105. Robert Fowle worked as a printer and publisher in Portsmouth and Exeter, New Hampshire until 1777. |
