Refers to his last letter from December asking Knox for help in getting a pay settlement (see GLC02437.01310). He has not received an answer, so he supposes the letter has not been delivered to Knox. Believes that Knox would reply with his help if he had received the letter, out of a sense of "humanity," and believes Knox to be a "lover of Justice." Adds, "When I tell you that my Friends are in very Indigent circumstances, you will naturally suppose, that, I am destitute of money, and so poorly clad, that I cannot appear with common decency abroad."
