Peirce tells Knox that in his last letter, he forgot ask about other documents he might have. There is a question regarding Thomas Flucker's estate and "whether the Estate should be held responsible for quieting the settlers that were in possession previous to April 18, 1775." Peirce goes on to discuss various details of Flucker's and James Bowdoin's accounts.
