Written from Hallowell, County of Lincoln, in Maine. Writes that Knox was kind enough last winter to take an order for a pair of epaulets for him and send them on to Boston. Asks politely whether Knox could forward them to him without inconveniencing himself, and promises to send him their cost as soon as possible. Reports that as he does not live near Knox's possessions in Lincoln County (likely referring to the Waldo patent lands), he has not heard anything about the desires of the present occupants regarding the lands. He hopes they will come to their senses, but "if War should be inevitable, I am perfectly ready to enter the lists in your cause."
