Received his last letter. Is glad to hear that his health is improving, though he imagines his confinement must have been "tedious & disagreeable." Discusses a recent letter "Cousin Isaac" [possibly Isaac Winslow, Sr.] wrote to Knox about a petition regarding the Waldo patent lands, and promises that their friend Ben [Benjamin Hichborn] will attend to it (see GLC02437.04239 for related information). Describes a recent social engagement, in which a Captain Linsee invited a party of gentlemen on board his boat. Lastly, mentions that he heard that Congress passed a measure to appoint several new positions in Massachusetts.
