Replies to a letter in which Stoughton informed Knox that Maurice (or Morris) Kelly, one of Knox's servants, recently solicited him for employment; Stoughton refused because Kelly had not obtained a discharge from Knox (refer to GLC02437.03845). Knox confirms that Kelly had asked him for a discharge, but Knox had not granted it due to the short notice. Kelly then informed Knox his child was sick, Knox offered him a discharge, and Kelly left with no notice. Knox will therefore not hire him again.
