Discusses details related to Knox's lands in present-day Maine. Refers to business matters between Knox and his late father (also named Isaac Winslow). Relates that Mr. Flucker (Knox's father-in-law), Isaac Winslow, Sr., and Governor James Bowdoin had been involved in glass works together, the General Court had granted them land which they sold, and now he is trying to sort out the details of the ownership and purchase of the land.
Winslow was related to Knox through Knox's wife, Lucy.
