Longman's original bill to Knox on 31 March 1775 came to £2035.6.6 1/2. It appears that Knox paid it in several installments over 1792-1794. Payment of interest from January 1794 to July 1804 was £345.9.0. There is an additional note by James Lloyd, the lawyer for the Longman estate (Longman died in 1797), making reference to other payments in 1804-1806. Docket in Henry Knox's hand mentions making further payments.
