Marked "private" on address leaf. Peirce references Knox's letters of 8 and 9 June. Says his friends concluded it was best not to offer a petition to the legislature regarding the taxes. Observes Knox's instructions regarding Fowles's land and will attend to them. Makes reference to other financial matters and a petition that likely will not be presented before the legislature, since the current session is almost finished.
