Autograph letter
Title: to Unknown
Knox addresses his letter to "Gentlemen" and explains that working to improve Penobscot Bay and rivers has left him with considerable debt reaching $8,000 "due to Mr. Thorndike and six thousand dollars to another Gentleman his associate." Knox has arranged a plan of payment that includes Henry Jackson and Benjamin Lincoln endorsing Knox's notes. Knox goes on to describe his lands and how rapidly the population is increasing in the area.
