References Knox's letters of 27 February and 2 March. Notes he delivered the letters enclosed for Mrs. Flucker. Has learned from the sheriff of the county that no part of the patent can be sold to pay taxes. States he can count on his watchfulness. Will wait for information respecting William Tudor, to whom Jackson owed money. Says "I will fight him thro' every stage of the law and subject myself to every and any inconvenience before I will submit to such a damn'd swindling trick." Asks Knox to deliver the enclosed letter to William Bingham (not included). Saw the supplementary report of the committee and reports on the "poor, paltry business." Hopes Knox will hold to his present resolutions. Hopes Knox will be in Boston by 1 June. He will make arrangements to travel to the eastward. Declares nothing will keep him from traveling except "the settlement of our Family Estate, which is wholly on my shoulders, which I am desirous of bringing to a close previous to that time."
