Thanks Knox for his attendance and communication respecting business [likely regarding land] that affects them both. Notes he has called on another gentleman for opinion regarding Knox's affairs.
Notes since receiving Knox's reply (no date given) he has been trying to negotiate a loan upon the strength of my Expectations; not having yet been able to accomplish my purpose. Reports that Henry Jackson encouraged him to make a draft upon Knox. Accordingly he has drawn up a bill for [dollar sign] 250. Will leave another bill for [dollar sign] 250 in the hands of his brother. Has only done this because of the most pressing demands. Will consider the money an advance towards my part of the Consideration money of the patent Contract. Does not think Knox will need the legal paper work for the land as I trust You will be satisfied with our solemn declarations in the premises.
Collected payment on several accounts for Knox. Encloses papers (not included) related to the appraisement of the estate of [Thomas] Flucker, Knox's deceased father-in-law. Discusses back taxes related to Flucker's lands that have been sold.
Appears to discuss various accounts possibly concerning land. Also mentions that the late Mrs. [Hannah] Flucker's lands were sold for taxes illegally.

Winslow received Knox's letter of 27 March 1799. Winslow tells Knox, on the morrow shall inform Merrills and Bracket of your acceptance of their terms.... Winslow mentions a problem he has concerning his (Winslow's) problem.
Writes that he and the rest of the family are upset by the melancholy information Knox related in a previous letter (this may refer to the death of Hannah Flucker, or our Aunt Flucker, as he refers to her, in 1785). Discusses his upcoming business travels and difficulties related to the lime business. Mentions legal and financial issues relating to the Waldo patent lands, and explains that a Mr. Stone has been hired to conduct a survey of a portion of the lands.
Winslow acknowledges receiving Secretary of War Knox's letter written 14 October. Winslow mentions a controversy between Mrs. Waldo and Us believing that Knox had a conviction either of the policy, or propriety of it. Winslow wishes to find employment but is unable to find anything. No doubt Knox will be ever near the Fountain of Federal business and Winslow hopes to get a position. Says he has not gone to the [Waldo] patent, as Knox wished, due to the hostile disposition of some inhabitants there and his own present embarrass'd condition. Discusses Cox's petition, land sales, and other details related to Knox's land. Complains that the property is depreciating, and that local residents regularly take timber from Knox's land.
