Writes that in a previous letter he informed Knox of the judgment against Mr. [George] Meade (he spells it "Mead") and in favor of the Bank of Pennsylvania.

Would like Knox to write back quickly to discuss how Knox might help Hodgdon, who has been put in a difficult financial situation due to this court judgment.
