Wrote Knox last Sunday and enclosed the principles of an agreement which has been "acceeded to by the parties." Says Mr. Phillips came to Boston and has started examining and discussing the business. Nothing of consequence has taken place. Writes, "we proceed very Slow, but with great harmony, and I think tomorrow will close the papers, with but little alteration from the one I sent you."
