Refers to a letter in which he castigated Jackson for suggesting he might appropriate a sum of Knox's dollars [in certificates] to invest (refer to GLC02437.03866). Writes, "In my letter to you I state how ruinous such a measure would be to me owing to my previous arrangements and that I expected you would have all my continental certificates ready to be delivered to me or my order by the 1st of next month." Predicts South Carolina and Virginia will adopt the Constitution, but worries New York will not.
