Appears to be in Jackson's hand. This document seems to be an estimate a builder gave Jackson to construct 4-story houses for Henry Knox in Maine. Each house is to have a 32 foot front and be 48 feet deep. Gives an estimate of £300 per house. Wants £126 per month for provisions. Is willing to have $200 paid every quarter.
