Unsigned, but handwriting suggests the author is Henry Knox. However, the author mentions Knox in the third person, so it is unclear whether it is Knox writing about himself in the third person, or Knox copied a letter written by another party. Refers to an agreement made with Fales's brother Nathaniel Fales, apparently regarding the upcoming sale of lands in Maine to Isaac Winslow. Also discusses the status of the Flucker estate, to which Knox is an executor.
