Contains two letters. The first, dated 31 May 1792, is written by Knox to Lewis. Knox asks Lewis's opinion about features in a legal agreement between a Massachusetts Committee of the Legislature, and Henry Jackson and Royal Flint. Asks several questions. The second letter, of the same date, is written by Lewis in answer to those questions. Lewis points out that there is "much contradiction and obscurity" in the agreement, and comments on Mr. [William] Duer's role in the agreement, now that he is insolvent. All in the hand of War Department secretary Nathan Jones.
