Reports that Madame de la Val and her entourage arrived in Boston on Friday. Says they are leaving today with a "fine S.W. wind." Relates that he has drawn on Benjamin Walker for $550 to pay for their supplies, and asks Knox to tell Walker, since he has no time to write him. If they have good conditions, he hopes to return to Boston in 15-20 days. Believes it is too late in the season for them to start a settlement, since "one snow storm before they are well establish'd, will damn the whole operation."
