Apologizes for not having written sooner and discusses estimates relating to land deals. Notes he finds it unlikely that the state will cover any differences in quantity, as had been suggested, due to the member's prior voting record on the subject. Informs Isaac he has increased the advancement of his brother's, [Samuel Winslow], cash because of his current situation. Requests that he meets with his cousin, Isaac, and make a determination of whether they will accept Knox's offer on some land (includes part of the Waldo patent).

This is because of two issues. The first concerns difficulties related to Winslow's inheritance of the property from Francis Waldo's estate. The second is the fact that one of the relatives now appears unwilling to sell their portion of the estate. However, believes there are ways to rectify these difficulties. The final pages of the letter are missing.
They have been consulting on the Waldo patent business for the past several days and have brought Mr. Erving and Waldo to a determination. Says they agreed in helping them dispose of the patent, but they wish to retain the island to accommodate Mr. Erving. The Winslows want to make a quiet settlement with the people who inhabit the island, writing, Its a very desirable thing with both of us, to hold a farm on the Island and to make the settlers happy ...

Refers to a recent letter to Knox from Henry Jackson in which Jackson summarized the General Court's review of a claim related to Knox's Maine lands (GLC02437.04535). States that it is to their disadvantage that the court continues to delay making a decision. Urges Knox to personally attend the next session. Writes that some papers related to the deficiency of land are smuggled in the Senate; said to be mislaid, but may come to light in the next court. Notes that [Nathan] Dane plans to travel to New York to transact in behalf of this Commonwealth, and may miss the next court session. Writes that Captain Vose, who is managing affairs on Knox's Maine lands, cannot collect payments until the court makes a decision. Mentions men the Governor nominated to the counsel (presumably the committee overseeing the claim related to Knox's lands).
