Asks Knox to deliver the enclosed letter, which is addressed to a man named Chapen. Adds that since Chapen has business with Knox, Ogden expects Knox will see Chapen soon, so delivering the letter should be no trouble. Will see Knox in a few days and plans to talk with him about Knox's interest in purchasing land in Ogden's village. Would like Knox's directions so a lot can be bought in New York and a house built on it. "Free" stamped on address leaf with no signature.
