Only recently found out Knox was in town. Has tried to make arrangements to see him but they keep missing each other. Went twice to 59 Maiden Lane, apparently where Knox was staying, to invite him to dinner. Relates that he gave William Knox a long letter. Writes, "sorry I am that your confounded senators & congress are so narrow minded, as to make no provision for their foreign consuls for I hear that they do not I am materialy [sic] interested in your Brother William's fate."
