Relates that a Mr. Gedney, the proprietor of a sawmill near Newburgh, has applied to Knox for help concerning some planks he had carved and supplied to the military but was never paid for. Mr. Gedney has no receipts for the planks, and Knox asks Captain Mitchell to investigate, and to provide Mr. Gedney with a receipt to act as a voucher so he might get paid.
