Comments on Benjamin Harrod's unchristian demand to be paid for taking care of Knox's bookstore merchandise while Knox was out of Boston. Explains the arrangements he made with Harrod and how they were being violated. Mentions that his books will sell in the country, but there is no way of replenishing the stock. Discusses fortifying New York and the lukewarm support of New Yorkers. Derisively comments that New York has two regiments, one made up of foreigners and the other unarmed. Reports that Lucy is ill, asks William to keep him updated on affairs in Boston, reiterates a request for money, and instructs that "a certain Major" should not be lent money.
