Writes to Mr. James Webber of London on a variety of topics. First, thanks him very much for caring for Knox's brother William when William was ill. Is overjoyed to hear of "his restoration to reason and health," and that he will be returning to America from England. Discusses a variety of other topics, including trade between America and England, Boston politics, and the financial business between Webber, Knox, and the firm of Broome & Platt (see GLC02437.03185).
