Written from "New Milford," which was renamed Alna, Maine. Writes to inform Knox, as a member of the Board of Council, that he has recommended to Governor [Caleb] Strong that a Justice of the Peace be appointed to his region, and that he has recommended Mr. Jeremiah Pearson for the job. Also warns that another (unnamed) man in the town has curried favor with politicians to get a recommendation for the job; this man is not qualified for the position, and, indeed, is corrupt and shameful.
