Summary
Jackson describe the severe weather and snow that continues to afflict the Boston area. Notes with sadness the news he heard that General Harmar has lost 700 men [fighting Indians] and that from every quarter an European War appears pretty certain-which I wish might bring out a South American expedition. The canal idea is much talked of. Jackson advises that Knox write Judge John Lowell on the matter. Jackson is optimistic that enough money can be raised for the project.
