Writes to inquire about an unsettled account against the late Mr. [Thomas] Flucker, Knox's father-in-law. Recently looked over his old account books and found that goods which were taken up by Flucker after Williams's departure (he apparently went abroad in 1770), but before the "Lexington Business put an End to all commercial Concerns in the Town." There is no record of the debt having been paid, and his business agents think it was not. Would like to know whether this account might be "admitted in the Settlement of the Estate?" Has enclosed the account information. Sends his compliments to Mrs. Knox.
