Refers to his travels from Richmond, Virginia through Kentucky, Louisiana, and the two Floridas "under the governance of" Alexander McGillivray. Says he cannot return home without monetary help from Knox. Chooses to ask Knox because of "the Representation Mr. McGillivray gave me of your Temper and Disposition." Will pay Knox back upon his arrival in Virginia. Holds several letters and papers from McGillivray as well as letters of introduction from people in Richmond. This letter was written at some point before 14 October, because in GLC02437.05187 and GLC02437.05195, Knox discusses giving Pope $8 to get back to Virginia.
