Contains two letters: at the top of the page is a letter from Joshua Loring, dated 11 July 1782 and transcribed by Oliver Smith, and at the bottom is a letter from Smith himself. The letter from Loring declares that Loring deposited Knox's goods at auction the day before, gives an estimate of the profits, and promises to write when he has a more precise total. The letter from Smith, dated 25 July 1782, declares that he cannot yet give an exact total "owing to my not being yet able to obtain the account sales from the auctioneers." Assures Knox, however, that a recent order he placed will be honored and that he will write with more information as it becomes available.
