Responds to a letter from Knox (GLC02437.02992) discussing the Waldo Estate, Flucker's inheritance. Instructs Knox to sell the portion that was not seized during the war as soon as possible. Notes that his Uncle Waldo recently died, bequeathing his Falmouth property to "the children of his older Brother" and appointing Samuel and Isaac Winslow as executors of the remainder. Discusses family matters, mentioning a brother, Mrs. Urquhart (possibly his sister Hannah.)
Thomas Flucker was Henry Knox's brother-in-law. He and his sister were children of Thomas Flucker (1719-1783) and Hannah Waldo Flucker.
