Place written is illegible. Dunton, one of Knox's employees in the Waldo patent lands in Maine, writes about a dispute between himself and a Mr. Parsons regarding living arrangements. Both Dunton's and Parsons's families are sharing one unfinished house. Parsons is currently out of town, but Dunton begs that when he returns, Knox relocate Parsons to an empty schoolhouse nearby.
