Knox writes that from William Sullivan he has heard that "Winthrop, and MacKay say they are not concerned respecting my plea of usery...." Knox says that they must all use the same defense "at least to induce the enemy to compromise." Knox mentions that John Amory is threatening him as well. Knox told Henry Jackson he would be there for the court filing in February, but not finds that that will be inconvenient. Knox says, "if these cases could go over the ensuing Supreme Court, it would be a relief."
