Discusses activity in trying to settle a debt owed to Knox by Robert Fowle and Daniel Fowle. Mentions the possibility of holding "them to Bail at our next Court." Whipple was serving as Robert Fowle's lawyer, but a post script indicates that he is no longer empowered to transact business for Fowle. For previous discussions of their debt see GLC02437.00064, GLC02437.00097, and GLC02437.00102. Robert Fowle worked as a printer and publisher in Portsmouth and Exeter, New Hampshire until 1777.
