Writes about his concerns over the Eastern Lands in Maine. Writes that he refrained from contacting Knox in the hopes of having more to report regarding the Eastern Lands in Maine, but everything is still unresolved. Has done nothing to interfere with Knox's management of the purchases. Plans to reside in Philadelphia to aid their business ventures, and also possibly to "avail [himself] of the bankruptcy statute in the State of Pennsylvania" in order for him to gain a "temporary relief." Discusses business ventures, and adds that General [Henry] Jackson will explain to Knox more on the subject.
