Apologizes for not having written sooner and discusses estimates relating to land deals. Notes he finds it unlikely that the state will cover any differences in quantity, as had been suggested, due to the member's prior voting record on the subject. Informs Isaac he has increased the advancement of his brother's, [Samuel Winslow], cash because of his current situation. Requests that he meets with his cousin, Isaac, and make a determination of whether they will accept Knox's offer on some land (includes part of the Waldo patent). They will need to provide Knox with evidence that there are no existing claims against the land.
