Writes, "I have received your favor of the 10th instant by Mr. Skinner. It would have given me real pleasure to have contributed in any degree to your exchange, but the existence of certain circumstances, to which you can be no stranger will unhappily retard it for the present. The moment these can be removed, I am persuaded there will not be the least impediment on our part to your immediate exchange."

Knox, Henry, 1750-1806
Snow, William, 1753-1834
