Informs his brother William Knox that he has given him power of attorney to sell his lands. Says he sent a map of the lands that are jointly held with Alexander Macomb, Philip Schuyler, John Taylor, Robert Morris, among others. Describes the lands and the waters around it. Tells William he also authorized him to sell "25000 acres laying in the Waldo Patent." Says he is selling the land because he needs the money, and will accept a lower asking price. If William can't sell the land, Knox expects him to "raise a sum of money thereon by way of Loan giving the Land as a security for the repayments." Goes on to discuss what the terms of the loan should or should not entail.
