Says he wrote to William Constable. Found out from a letter from Constable written to another person, that "He suspected that Jackson, and I, had a purchase in contemplation - how he discovered this, I do not know?" In his letter, Constable stated that he thought it was too far into the legislative session to complete the deal. Says "If he meant this his opperations will be postponed untill next winter - you can best determine what steps ought to be taken in the mean time with the Committee." Asks Knox to forward an enclosed letter (not included) to a French gentleman at Fort Pitt.
