Apparently, Knox is trying to collect money owed to Webber for the sale of goods Webber consigned with various Americans. Discusses financial matters. Knox's brother, William, thinks Webber may have some of his money (Webber looked after William while he was in England, suffering from a bout of mental illness). Reports on other debts owed to him, relating that he even visited [Samuel?] Ogden to obtain payments due, though Ogden is financially unstable because he used paper money. Comments on "the adoption of a new Constitution for the United States which utterly excludes paper money and all such delusions."
