Has not received a letter from Knox since 7 August 1793. Says "I must once more intreat your exertions to close the Acco[unt]t with Mr. Ogden, who has so very long protracted payment, and now can have no excuse whatever." Asks that Knox's "powerful abilities" be used on his behalf. Sends his regards to William Knox and asks that he pay his bill of £30.
