Informs Knox there has been a hearing before the committee regarding taxes. Discusses which lands are part of the patent (possibly referring to the Waldo patent lands) and any taxes related to the land.

Also asks whether they should give Judge Sullivan (possibly James or John Sullivan) a fee for his opinion.
