3 June 1787
Knox, Henry, 1750-1806
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Shirley Erving
Knox acknowledges the receipt of a letter from Erving on 22 May 1787 related to a claim of the descendants of General [William] Shirley to a portion of General Samuel Waldo's Penobscot lands (present-day Maine). Knox promises to investigate the claim, but does not think it will turn out to be valid.
