Pemberton, principal of an academy in Billerica, expresses his disappointment at not having seen Knox last September. Pemberton has enclosed his bills and those that he has belong to "Messieurs Flukers." The balance due Knox is $40.64, which should be "sufficient to discharge Master Thomas's bills." Pemberton laments the bad behavior of "Master Waldo" [Flucker].
