Is sorry to hear Longman is having so much trouble with the Flucker estate. Says I have it the most speedy way to terminate the affair to assign to Mrs Horwood the legacy left to Mrs Knox by her uncle, in condition of her relinquishing certain lands. this business accordingly is put into a train of execution. Is sending Longman the first of 11 bills of exchange, each for 1,000 guilders. Believes each bill should be about 1,000 pounds sterling. Thanks Longman for his patience. Says it is with extreme inconvenience that I pay so heavy an [arrear] for property destroyed by events which I could no more control than I could the great operations of nature ... I mean the late war. Says he was not seeking money, but satisfaction. Believes the balance he will furnish Longman is 400.
Writes that since he did not receive a response to his letter to Knox of 13 August 1790, he has had several meetings with the holders of Mr. Flucker's Bond and Notes and found that it was impossible to prevent their filing a Bill in Chancery against Mrs. Harwood, unless she consented that they should have an equal dividend of the Money in her hands, with Messrs. Wright and Gill and my self. Mrs. Harwood then requested a day for the final settlement of this business, this she put off; under the pretense (for I can call it no other now) of consulting her Attorney. He then read in the Gazette to my great astonishment Mrs. Harwood's Name among the list of Bankrupts. Believes that there is little hope that any part of your debt to Messrs. Wright and Gill, or myself being liquidated from this source we must beg that you will find some other way of discharging the same.
Expresses his displeasure on hearing that Longman has yet to receive the money he sent him. Also discusses financial business of the Flucker estate. Some text loss on the third page due to a large portion, including the signature, being clipped.
Unsigned, but handwriting suggests the author is Henry Knox. Document includes calculations of debts owed to the estate of Thomas Flucker, Knox's deceased father-in-law, as well as monies the estate owes to various individuals.
Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
"This little book had been prepared to meet the needs of the classes in civics in our New Hampshire schools and of the many citizens who desire more definite knowledge of New Hampshire government"--Preface
