Later copy. Expresses disappointment that General Lincoln will not be ready to sail as soon as Knox anticipated. Adds that commissioners are waiting for them at Halifax, Nova Scotia. About the urgent voyage, writes "We ought to determine upon the nature and quantity of things to be presented to the [Penobscot] Indians- and make application for them. We shall appear ridiculous enough in their eyes to ask them for their land and not give them any thing to prepare their minds to acquiesce in so modest a request." Written in Dorchester, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
