Thomas Seymour, the mayor of Hartford, Connecticut, writes to Knox about his late father-in-law Thomas Flucker's estate. Seymour writes that his own late father was the attorney of Thomas Flucker. Explains that he is having trouble collecting the sums owed to Thomas Flucker by the Deputy Sheriff. Says the sheriff made arrangements with Flucker prior to the war but now contends that he is not accountable for some of the money and does not owe interest on it. Will continue to investigate the matter and keep Knox informed. Asks Knox to remember that he is taking up his late father's business and therefore it will take him more time to learn the intricacies of the affair.
