Expresses his misgivings over [William Duer's] involvement with the land business, stating "I am all anxiety for fear that D - may ruin the business at last - his want of candor and decision is so evident in every part of his conduct that you have reason to apprehend every thing from him ..." Warns Knox, "that he would sacrifice you and every one else to his own views & wishes - be on your guard and do not trust him in any instance whatever." Includes an excerpt of a letter dated 17 December 1792 from Madame de Leval to Mr. de la Roche and continues to discuss land business. Warns him to not share this information and to be careful to not get taken advantage of.
