Asks for a copy of the account they had between them when Knox was still in the book business. Believes Knox can help him get £247.10.0 for 275 pounds of Hyson Tea that was delivered in 1774. Notes he was in London at the time and has since lost track of the transaction, but he heard that Knox delivered the tea "to some person in Boston" at the command of the colonel of the 26th Regiment. Recipient not listed, however, base on the content of the letter the recipient is likely Henry Knox.
