| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | Refers to a recent letter to Knox from Henry Jackson in which Jackson summarized the General Court's review of a claim related to Knox's Maine lands (GLC02437.04535). States that it is to their disadvantage that the court continues to delay making a decision. Urges Knox to personally attend the next session. Writes that some papers related to the deficiency of land "are smuggled in the Senate; said to be mislaid, but may come to light in the next court." Notes that [Nathan] Dane plans to travel to New York to "transact in behalf of this Commonwealth," and may miss the next court session. Writes that Captain Vose, who is managing affairs on Knox's Maine lands, cannot collect payments until the court makes a decision. Mentions men the Governor nominated to the counsel (presumably the committee overseeing the claim related to Knox's lands). |
