Wrote Knox this morning from New York, but has heard news of several misfortunes on his way to Newark, so wanted to write again. Reports that many of their business associates, including Mr. [Walter] Livingston and Mr. [Richard] Platt, are in serious financial difficulty. Visited Mr. [William] Duer to retrieve a note, but Duer told him he paid the note to Mr. [John Marsden] Pintard and thereby settled his account. Will visit Pintard tomorrow to see if this is actually true. Sends love from himself and his wife to Mrs. Knox and the children. "Free" handwritten on address leaf with no signature.
