Wrote an affidavit as requested by Knox of his knowledge "respecting the circumstances which led Genl [Nathanael] Greene into his securityships for John Banks" (refer to GLC02437.04498). Discusses the transaction between Banks and Greene in detail. In the affidavit, Carrington did not comment on the suggestion that Greene was involved in trade with Banks. He plans to send Knox some newspapers that discuss Banks involvement with Greene, or send an additional affidavit. Hopes Knox will obtain evidence of the circumstances that led Banks to be pressured for additional security.
