| Title | Henry Knox to Thomas Randall about bank notes |
| Date | 3 June 1791 |
| Author | Knox, Henry (1750-1806) |
| Recipient | Randall, Thomas |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Business and financial document |
| Content Description | Knox is sending Randall two notes -- one for $3,000 and the other for an unknown amount. The notes were drawn by William Duer -- the $3,000 note can be discounted on 15 June while the other bill can be discounted on 7 June. Asks that the $3,000 note be discounted independent of Duer and on Randall's own credit. Randall was of the house of "Shaw and Randall" -- probably a reference to Knox's former aide-de-camp. |
