Marked as a "copy/private." Appears to be from Knox to Price at West Point, although no creator is cited. Notes he will be leaving for Boston 10 or 12 July. Asks if Price can be in New York by that time so they may travel together. Notes he will deliver £96 "this currency," half of Price's pay for 1787.
