Marked as "Extracts of a letter to Wm Bingham Esq." Portions are written in two different hands. The first portion discusses a land purchase and refers to the opinion of General [Henry] Jackson on the subject. The second portion, likely in Knox's hand, gives Bingham "a carte blanche" to complete a financial arrangement and do what ever is necessary to "get me the money." The third portion, also likely in Knox's hand, discusses purchases of land and again refers to the involvement of General Jackson.
