| Content Description | Written from Hallowell, possibly in Maine. Would have visited Knox in Boston if weather permitted; however, due to the snow, he is happy to send Knox a letter. Cannot write a long letter because he is short on paper. Reports on dairies in a region of Knox's lands, and discusses taxation affecting Knox's lands. Also includes a bill for his services, and asks Knox politely if he could pay soon, as he is "poor." |
