Knox has received Davis's letter of November 6, "but has not had time to have prepared and executed power of attorney for the sale of Mrs. Knox's lands." He says he business with Mr. Bridge requires "good faith." Discusses the Duck pond lands. Knox needs his wife's land sold for cash that he badly needs. Tells Davis that his European merchants would surely be interested in his "excellent grey and yellow oak lumber which has been seasoned in the fall water for three years."
