Wants Knox to forward an enclosed letter to William Knox (not included). Has been considering the proposals Knox made to him and he is at a loss of how to decide. Is also at a loss for the very extraordinary refusal of the concerned. Believes Knox acted in friendship, but he can best detest the Men, who so unjustly have availed themselves of an advantage, that as far as I can judge would disgrace an Izrailite. Will not say anything further until he sees Knox, which will be next Saturday.
Complains about the lack of letters from Knox and mentions the situation of mutual friends.
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.
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.
Writes he was not as successfull in my jaunt as I expected. Says Knox should, however, expect five hundred dollars via Mrs. Crookes and more later to come. Written at Delaware Works, located in what is now Morrisville, Pennsylvania, near Trenton, New Jersey. One word notation on verso.
Says he wrote to William Constable. Found out from a letter from Constable written to another person, that He suspected that Jackson, and I, had a purchase in contemplation - how he discovered this, I do not know? In his letter, Constable stated that he thought it was too far into the legislative session to complete the deal. Says If he meant this his opperations will be postponed untill next winter - you can best determine what steps ought to be taken in the mean time with the Committee. Asks Knox to forward an enclosed letter (not included) to a French gentleman at Fort Pitt.
Letter of introduction for two British soldiers, Captain Talbot, a member of Prince Edward's family, and Captain Piggot, of the Royal Fusileers. They are traveling from Quebec back to England, but before they leave the United States would like to visit some of the southern states.
Says he and Mrs. Ogden share in Knox's and Mrs. Knox affliction over their recent misfortune (Ogden is likely referring to the recent loss of Knox's youngest daughter, see GLC02437.03635). Invites Mrs. Knox to bring her children for a visit as [o]ur Family and nieghbourhood are remarkably healthy, and I dare say what with the change of air & Exercise Lucys state of health would be mended and that Mrs Knox would sooner recover the very severe shock she has met with...
