Inman, who recently was imprisoned due to both debt and psychiatric instability, writes to Knox to thank him for his help in getting him released. Regrets not being able to see Knox before Knox left in the morning. Assures him that he will pay his debt to the firm of Smith and Wycoff. Writes, "You may confidently rely on this my promise, that as I look on my liberty entirely owing to your generous interference, the encouragement you gave Messrs. S & W shall be attended to by me."
