Unsigned, and no creator is cited. Appears to be from Knox to Price at West Point, although it is not written in Knox's hand. Knox asks Price to meet him in New York so they can travel to Boston together the following Thursday. Writes "...it will be much more agreable to me than that you should go from West Point to Springfield- I mean to go from home by water to Providence & from there by land to Boston."
