Has received Ogden's letter from yesterday asking him to meet at General [George] Washington's headquarters at eleven o'clock the next morning. Declares that he had already made his travel plans and he shall certainly be there by that time. He and his wife send their regards to Mrs. Ogden.
Complains about the lack of letters from Knox and mentions the situation of mutual friends.
Writes that he has given much thought about a plan of Knox's and believes it to be a very [favorable] idea. Forwards a letter (refer to GLC02437.03672) to Mr. [Gouverneur] Morris. Notes he left the letter open for Knox to read. Written at Delaware Works, located in what is now Morrisville, Pennsylvania, near Trenton, New Jersey.
Ogden says some person, a Country man of yours, stopped by to give their compliments to him, but he was absent. Adds that old Thomas took the message but forgot the name of the visitor. The acquaintance is on his way to Philadelphia. Ogden asks Knox to let me know his name, & tell him I wish to see him. Says their little girl is mending fast.
Informs Knox he received his letter regarding the commission from Carolina. Encloses a deed (not included) and needs Knox to have it signed by a federal judge. Discusses his wife's failing health. Congratulates Knox and Mrs. [Lucy] Knox on their newborn son. Notes their little boy is in fine health. Appears to hint at not having any more children. Discusses land deals involving Williamsons settlement and the Six Nations. Mentions he just received word that John Burnett is away fighting the insurgents and the commission business in Carolina may have to wait for his return or perhaps can be completed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Also notes two favorite children of his (Burnett's) were buried last Sunday ... and a third is now dangerously ill and he may try to return home.
Expresses his gratitude to Knox for introducing him to his Boston connections. He has enjoyed the kind hospitality. Writes, I want not to know your Business; But tell me only how I can serve you either by lying or cheating or [text loss] for you and I will do it! Requests Knox tells Miss Breck that he delivered her letter to her female Friend.
Later copy. States that the business is in a pretty loose situation, but hopes things will improve in a few days. Says Mr. Moore will be able to provide Ogden with further details about the situation when they meet up.
Assumes that Ogden has returned from Philadelphia, where he and his wife Euphemia wished his brother Gouverneur a safe trip to Europe. Reports that his three youngest children have passed through the measles, and that two of his other children (Henry Jackson and Lucy) have a fever. Asks if Ogden, who operates the Delaware Works, has sent Samuel Shaw's iron to Boston. Asks how he should reply to a letter from James Webber, a London merchant, who wishes to collect a debt owed to him by Ogden. In a post script, comments on the sale of Colonel [Alexander] Hamilton's St. Lawrence lands at a low price to [Alexander] Macomb. Adds that he declined the same offer for his lands. Asks if Gouverneur might be able to sell the land for a better price while he is in England.
