Writes to discuss a housing problem with Knox. Was told by Knox's agent, Mr. [John] Gleason, that he could rent a particular house for the year, and made arrangements to move there, giving up his current residence. Then discovered Knox had already let the house to someone else. Has been told that another house is available for rent, and hopes Knox will allow him to rent it, as he is now without accommodations, due to the misunderstanding.
