Says he showed Knox's letter (GLC02437.07628) to Judge Paine regarding the insurrections of the insurgents in Maine. Notes the judge included Knox's letter as part of his "charge" to the Grand Jury. Encloses (not included) a list of names of men being charged for the riot that took place on the 4th of July [1801?]. Says the evidence against the men is "positive and unequivocal." Also informs Knox he furnished [George] Ulmer with summons for the next court date. Discusses the witnesses, noting many of them knew nothing or have lied before the jury. Mentions Reverend W. Pickles was the most eminent and swore he did not know a single name involved in the riot. Written from Pownalborough, present day Newcastle, Maine.
