Noted as a copy on the docket. Letter is not signed but appears to be in Knox's handwriting. Discusses the sum Joseph Jones and [Benjamin?] Bartlett received for the loss of their barns (the barns were burnt down by the settlers).

A portion of the bottom right corner of the letter is missing causing minor text loss and the loss of Knox's signature.
