Knox tells Nutting that Nutting has "on board the Schooner Dove 302 casks of Lime...and thirty eight tones of oak lumber." Knox says Nutting has to go to Boston to see Knox's agents Jonathan Jackson and Joseph Peirce regarding this business. Jackson will pay Nutting the "amount of the freight, and a small balance" of $32.84.
