Informs Winslow that he is sorry for the delay in sending "the deeds respecting the lands in Nottingham [west]." Winslow's recent letter has removed objections Knox had to signing the deeds, so he will forward them by way of Henry Jackson. Outlines some of the details of the land agreement. Hopes he will not send the deeds on without receiving adequate security. Discusses attending the general court to settle business with the land; will not be able to attend the current session, but should be able to attend the next. Hopes that Winslow as well as the younger Isaac Winslow will be able to attend in the meantime.
