References Knox's letter of 10 April. Says the enclosed letter to William Bingham will update him on their land concern (not included). Reports that it appears Mr. Corneau wants to purchase the tract and that Mr. Higginson is employed for that purpose. Recommends that Bingham not appear to have anything to do with that contract as he "may want some accommodation with the Committee, or Legislature respecting his Deeds &cc." Says that Royal Flint should "transfer to me or some other person - and not to Mr. Bingham." Encloses a letter from the sheriff of Lincoln County (see GLC02437.05870). Says he called on the Treasurer, who has no objection to suspending the business of the taxes until Knox arrives in Boston on 1 June. Informs Knox that he spoke to the Attorney General "who approv'd of his giving a Warrant to the Sherrif [sic] to make sale to the amount of Tax's - as he was authorized so to do by Law."
