Writes that he sent Knox a letter in February 1792 about his intention to purchase a plot of land from Knox in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. As he never heard back, he takes the liberty to write again. If he is able to purchase the land, he would like to build a house on it by June or July, so he would appreciate a response from Knox, including a selling price for the land.
