Took the liberty of drawing 75 dollars from Knox. Will repay him in 2 or 3 months. Tells Knox the notes that William Bingham gave him "are at too long sight to avail myself to raise any thing for the present Expense of my Family." Has no one but [Benjamin] Walker to ask aid from, and Duer claims he has asked too much from him lately. Needs about 300 pounds for his family to get by for three months. Wants to know if Knox will answer the draft of William Hill at 5 days sight for $375. Also wants Knox to give Hill leave to draw another $375 on 1 April. Pledges on his honor to pay it back in 6 months, if not sooner.
