Encloses (not included) an extract of a letter from Mr. [Samuel] Ogden. Parkman apparently owes his share of funds for iron that was paid for, in part, by Major [Samuel] Shaw. Knox says that the iron can likely be procured in Boston, but might be procured in New York, on three months's credit. Declares that it would be an unfortunate circumstance if the ship should suffer for want of iron. Offers to help procure it in New York if Parkman cannot in Boston.
