Knox is sending Randall two notes -- one for $3,000 and the other for an unknown amount. The notes were drawn by William Duer -- the $3,000 note can be discounted on 15 June while the other bill can be discounted on 7 June. Asks that the $3,000 note be discounted independent of Duer and on Randall's own credit. Randall was of the house of "Shaw and Randall" -- probably a reference to Knox's former aide-de-camp.
