Writes to Knox regarding the legal troubles he is having. Appears a suit has been brought against Bingham by Caboth and others for the recovery of cargo during the last war (Revolutionary War). Complains of "vile misrepresentations" and "prejudices" being made during the trial. Also says his testimony could explain the nature of the transactions and justify Bingham's conduct but it has been rejected. Notes it has been hinted that a "judgment obtained in the Supreme Court of Massachusetts might be levied on my [Bingham's] land in Maine." Encloses (not included) a statement about the case and request Knox reviews it.
