Colonel Walker requests that Knox assist him in obtaining money he was granted by a Congressional Resolution of 15 April 1785, likely for his military service. Notes receipt of a bill from an unspecified board via Mr. Lovell, possibly James Lovell, former Massachusetts Continental Congressman and receiver of continental taxes. Writes, "I need not observe to you Sir that, when the draft is paid, upon Mr. Lovell, it will not reimburse me, for the expenses I have been at, in the solicitation."
