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." Also advises Knox to be in Boston before the 10th to bring his business before the legislature. 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."
