" Expresses his concern on not hearing from Knox, as "never since our acquaintance first took place, do I remember such an instance as the present - it is now more than a month since you wrote me ... I am my dear Harry really at a loss, indeed I cannot conjecture the reason why I am forgotten - and I assure you I shall continue very unhappy and distress'd until this matter is explained - I have writen [sic] you every Sunday since you left Boston and shall continue so to do and I pray you to do the same, and in the case we shall hear from each other by every Wednesdays mail, and altho we are one hundred miles farther distant from each other we shall receive Letters once a week as usual - " Mentions information regarding interaction between Spain and England.
