Knows that Duer is a bad correspondent so "I have not suffered myself to be hurt by your silence." Congratulates him on their shared accomplishments in Massachusetts, a reference to their purchase of two million acres of land in the District of Maine. Reports that Royal Flint will be in New York on 15 July and that Duer can examine the relevant documents and maps then. Proposes that he will be in New York by 16 July. Tells him to use his "sensible mind" to handle any changes that need to be made to the business. Has written Duer repeatedly about preparing provisions for the frontier. Warns that he needs to come through or his reputation will suffer. Writes, "Please to inform Lady Kitty that Mrs Knox on the 8th instant presented me with ... another child ... her tenth - This little stranger is a daughter, and the most lovely we have been blessed with." Says Lucy is as well as could be wished.
