Solicit Knox's support for appointment as Inspector of Excise. Notes he has already sent his petition to President George Washington and hopes Knox can wield some influence over the president. Believes Knox can attest to his character and that he has "been a staunch friend to the liberty of my Country." Explains "had I not met with very heavy losses, since 1775, which has reduced me, I should have had no occasion for this my application." "Free" stamped on address leaf with no signature.
