Thanks Knox for their business relationship. In regard to the (illegal) tea Rivington sent Knox to sell, Rivington comments: "I fancy you had much rather I had not sent an article so much out of your way of Business." If Knox has not sold it, Rivington instructs him to forward the tea and an enclosed letter to James Seagrove and Mr. Palfrey. Also mentions that Cook's Voyage will soon be printed and sent to Knox to sell. For earlier correspondence pertaining to the contraband tea see GLC02437.00171 and GLC02437.00178. Rivington was a bookseller, printer, and journalist who came to America in 1760. He published Rivington's New-York Gazetteer.
