Copy of two letters written to Knox from Meade, written in Knox's hand. First letter dated 30 July 1795 Philadelphia. Discusses his current inability to take up drafts and make payments and would therefore relinquish a purchase, presumably of land. Second letter dated 31 August 1795 Philadelphia. Also discusses financial difficulties.
