Congratulates Knox on his retirement. Writes, "When you once get engaged in your own personaly [sic] business you will then be fully convinced of the propriety of the measure & of the sacrifices you have made of your Interest & property for twenty years past in serving and ungrateful public."

States, "the Legislature meet tomorrow - it will be every thing [sic] to you to make an attack before your Enemys [sic] have time to rally. - delays are dangerous."
