Mrs. Harwood tells Secretary of War Knox that she received his letter through William Knox ten days before. She discusses a dispute over whether Knox must provide a receipt to his creditors in London. Mrs. Harwood is acting as a liaison for Knox. There is concern over Knox's demands from the "Massachusetts state." Mrs. Harwood says, "I must desire you will send a receipt in full of all demands upon me, to Longman to be delivered by him." Mrs. Harwood will not pay her bond to Knox until she has received a receipt from him. She tells Knox she sees his brother William seldom because he has many engagements but when she does, he is "in good health and spirits."
