Signed and initialed by Knox. This appears to be a copy of two letters that Knox sent to Duer on 17 June and 19 June. On June 19, Knox told Duer to pay a $2,500 note 33 days after the date to the firm of Shaw and Randall. On June 17 he had told Duer to pay a $2,500 note in 60 days. This document relates to the notes worth $5,000 Knox has recently corresponded with Thomas Randall about (refer to GLC02437.05006).
