3 May 1799
Reed, Frederick, fl. 1799
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Henry Knox
Reed, seemingly a squatter on Knox's land, writes to Knox that he is "still alive and still in possession of the land at owls head." Reed is willing to pay Knox $2/acre except for land Reed claims "pedody payed for...years ago." He goes on to discuss other possible arrangements including mortgaging the land to Knox for Knox's security.
