| Recipient | Duer, William Walker, Benjamin |

| Content Description | Pages 1-2 contains a letter to William Duer. Pages 2-3 contains a letter to Benjamin Walker. Knox signed the Duer letter and initialed the Walker letter. Hopes Duer received the maps and that he will be in Boston with Royal Flint by 14 August. Says the committee will be together to collect the $5,000 and "it will be an excellent opportunity on the payment of that sum to commence the negociation for the additional million, and the conditional agreement to be extend[ed]." States much of their future depends upon the punctual payment of the $5,000. The letter to Walker says he has enclosed a letter for Duer (this is what is on page 1-2). Relates that the first payment of the Massachusetts land is due. Wants to know if Flint's maps have arrived. Docketed by Knox. |
