Says there is an old proverb which states "Silence gives consent." Since Knox has not contradicted his previous suggestions, he will proceed to make "a location for you in this Town," meaning Newark. Has thought it over and knows it is the correct course. Believes it is best for Knox to leave a place where the people are ungrateful to him and to move to a peaceful and quiet place. Mentions his son is recovering from a fever. "Free" handwritten on address leaf with no signature.
