| Content Description | Marked "Copy." This is a William Tudor letter copied in Jackson's hand and sent to Knox. Tudor declares, "The more I reflect on the circumstances which led to the Claim I have upon you the less disposition do I find for relinquishing a Shilling of it." Will stand by the deal they made 2 days ago as long as the money is paid by 10 March. Plans to negotiate the note at one of the banks. Is being explicit "because I wish you not to be surprised - And after waiting twelve months for you to make the most of a bargain which you defected me in, you cannot justly complain." Tells him the first purchase they made from the state for lands in Maine should have made William Duer and his associates content. "If in the wild Extension of their Grasp, they became sufferers, with themselves alone rests the Blame - had it not been for this interference, I could have obtained a Contract which would have secured to me, three times the amount of what I hold your Note for." Says no bargains or compromises will be made in the future. |
