Knox's reply to Shaw's letter dated 12 February 1790, GLC02437.04512. Discusses a problem with debt and securities involving Mr. Holker and Daniel Parker, captain of the ship Shaw took to Guangzhou, China. Involves a sum of money the owners of the ship, the Empress of China, owe to Shaw. Also mentions insurance issues involving another ship, the Jay, which Shaw sailed on to China. Knox writes, "I know and feel for your embarrassments - But remember they are all vulnerable - look to them with composure and keep up your spirits."
