Knox writes to Price at West Point. States, "Independent of the public objects I shall wish to converse with you on the subject of objects to the Eastward- I should wish to form some system in that quarter what would promote our mutual interests. I want some person in whom I could fully confide." Proposes that Price make arrangements to travel east with Knox, likely referring to Knox's lands in present-day Maine. Marked "private" on the docket.
