Responds to a letter from Knox with an apology for not fully paying a debt. Comments that it is the nature of the business conducted by him and his kinsman, Robert Fowle, "to credit out the chief of it for twelve months--without interest." Also attributes the delay to the fact that Robert recently returned from Philadelphia and has just recovered from smallpox. A postscript indicates that Oliver Whipple, Robert's attorney, has some money that can be used to pay the debt. Robert Fowle worked as a printer and publisher in Portsmouth and Exeter, New Hampshire until 1777.
