Autograph letter signed
Title: to Henry Knox
Forwards a letter for his brother and thanks Knox for the information about his brother since he had not heard from him since his absence. Asks Knox if he received Pierce's father's letter regarding being the heir to "county land due to my late brother." Asks if a certificate can be entitling his father to the land. Also informs Knox of a possible Clause "that may affect you very materialy [sic] if adopted - it is to enact a Law to quiet the Setlers [sic] on land who have been in quiet possession thereof..."
