References Knox's letter of 18 June. Tells him not to worry about the taxes. Will make sure no land is sold by the sheriff to pay them. Wants to send a petition to the legislature, but needs to wait for Mr. [Nathan] Dane to arrive so he can gain his support. Did not want to risk sending it without Dane being present. Sends a break down of the taxes, which amount to £653.16.2. Mentions the dry weather and crop prices. Reports that Judge Wilson, who is 55, is deeply in love with Miss Gray, who is 18 or 19. Wilson spoke to her about it and she is considering his words while he is out on the circuit court. It appears she will marry him. Postscript says Knox's cousin Samuel Winslow is in Boston attending to business.
