Asks Knox to help him settle a problem with Mr. Livingston [his first name is not provided], apparently a legal or financial settlement. Describes recent correspondence with Livingston. Writes, "If I should fall through Livingston's cruelty, I hope the curses of Heaven will follow him through life, as being one of the most ungrateful of men, for no other man would have run the risk which I did for him in the hour of his distress."
