References several of Knox's letters. Has not responded because his time is fully taken up with the business of the purchase. To complete the deal he has been "eating, drinking and visiting," and will write of the particulars when everything is complete. Says everything is agreed upon and that the deeds are now being made out. They will be ready to sign by Thursday. Reports that William Bingham cannot leave Boston until that day, or possibly next week. Believes Bingham "is well satisfied with the attention paid him since his arrival." "Free" stamped on address leaf with no signature.
