Marked "Private" on address leaf. Applied at the probate office "for an order of distribution but was told there must be ... an Accot. exhibited of all expenditures about or on Accot. of the Estate and charge of the Agency." As Knox needs to pay out creditors from this estate, Peirce suggests he make such an account and send it to him. Describes various claims and notes that have been paid or need to be paid. Says Knox forgot to tell him how much to pay the auctioneers.
