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.
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.
Discusses the offer of a survey of Thomaston, Maine, which he declined, on behalf of Knox.
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.
Winslow tells Knox that Nathaniel Hatch is eager to purchase land from Knox, but Knox's asking price is higher than Hatch had expected. Winslow also discusses other land issues and Thomas Flucker's estate.
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.
Writes that he has for sometime been unsure how to ask Knox whether he might help him find a position with the federal government, preferably near where he lives. Would like to bring up his sons to be educated and respectable enough to remain in genteel society. Imagines that one of his friends might have already recommended him to Knox. Believes that Knox might suspect his employment in a public office might distract him from their mutual interests in the Waldo patent lands, but Winslow believes that this should not be a problem. Adds that Knox knows how much Winslow wants the new government to succeed. Would especially like a position with the revenue department.
Winslow informs Knox that he is suffering much injury from Pillagers upon your Lands in Falmouth. Winslow says that the Secretary of the Treasury, has instituted an investigation of the Conduct of the Marshal of this District, in consequence of some complaints exhibited against Him, in a Letter to the President. Winslow asks that Knox not tell the attorney, Mr. Davis, that he wrote or knows about the matter. Winslow hopes that Knox could perhaps mention him to fill the position of Marshal of the District.
