Discusses a delicate situation in which Henry Jackson invested 10,000 dollars worth of Knox's notes without his permission. Writes, "Having previously built on my notes in my arrangements, as I before informed you it would be unnecessary and unavailing to add any thing further..." Restates that the notes were the means by which he intended to provide for the future security of his family. Heavily edited by Knox.
