Peirce writes to Secretary of War Knox regarding the condition of Knox's property they are trying to sell. Peirce tells Knox, "it may be of importance for me to know if you furnished Mr. Jas Bowdoin with the statement of Mr. Flucker's acct." Peirce believes the statement was in Knox's handwriting. Thinks "the commission" might use that in case Knox claims he did not pay "the note."
