Summary
Apologizes for not writing sooner but explains that he was held on public business in Elizabeth Town, New Jersey. Mentions a petition he gave to General Benjamin Lincoln. Focuses on matters of personal finance, such as his possible purchase of an estate in Cumberland and land featuring a lime rock farm, which strikes him as a good investment due to the possibility of renting the land and selling the limestone. Discusses taxes, and also mentions items left by his brother, William Knox, to be sold, with the proceeds to be sent to Henry Knox. See GLC02437.01404 and GLC02437.01380 for related information.
