Book Description
Signed twice by Jackson. References Knox's letter of 20 March. Has heard nothing from William Tudor since the last letter he forwarded to Knox. Relates that his note to Tudor was due 17 March. Reports that [Thomas?] Adams the printer informed him that the article in a North Carolina newspaper Knox was asking about was inclosed to him by a Gentleman from Pensylvania. Adams would not give the gentleman's name, nor confirm it came from Philadelphia. Jackson believes he can find out the name if Knox wishes to know. Refers Knox to William Bingham's letter about their land concern. Wants to go to Maine with Knox, and reminds him they are embarking from Portland now as a packet now runs regularly between there and Boston. Says I am anxious for your present situation but hope & pray for the best, you will let me know when all danger is over, that my mind may be releived from its present fears & apprehensions. Says he intends to visit a Public Exhibition of the Students at the Hingham Academy. Will see Henry Jackson Knox there who Henry Jackson refers to as my boy. Reports that the boy needs steadiness, but that he has improved upon his language, manners & deportment. Speaks highly of the boy and hopes he will continue where he is until he enters Harvard. Is very much against the boy going home for the summer. Continues letter on 1 April. Encloses correspondence he has had with Judge Sullivan. This will show Knox the situation they are in since they have not made the [Dollar sign]30,000 payment as their contract stipulates. Hopes Knox will consult Bingham on the subject. Reminds him the [Dollar sign]5,200 note is due 29 April.

Book Description
Discusses the education of the son of a mutual friend [possibly named Sumner or Summer], whose legitimacy is suspect. Writes, I am afraid whether I have any thing in writing that acknowledges him as his Son & that he ment [sic] to consider him as such with respect to his property. Forwards a letter from Dr. [William] Eustis concerning his desire to have the charge of the Invalids in Massachusetts (not present). Speaks highly of Eustis's integrity, and suggests Knox may want to appeal to Colonel [Alexander] Hamilton on Eustis's behalf, as Hamilton will be making the appointment. Mentions balls and parties being held in the area, and wishes that Knox's daughter Lucy was in Boston to attend it. Adds, I believe I drank too much wine yesterday, as I have a most severe headache this day - I can hardly see the paper on which I am writing. Includes post written on the address leaf. A note on the address leaf declares that the enclosure from Dr. Eustis had been given instead to Dr. [Andrew] Craigie to pass along to Knox.

Book Description
Called on Mr. [Stephen?] Higginson about a bill, but he declined accepting it. Received a letter from Colonel Tyler on his tour of Knox's Maine lands. Says he will write you again respecting the conduct of some persons on the patent and the manner they are waisting [sic] and distroying [sic] your property. Wants to pay Tyler [Dollar sign]2 per day for his 52 days of work. Heard that Congress is bringing forward a new militia law. Wants Knox to keep him in mind for any appointments. Declares I am desirous of being in a permanent & respectable situation of fifteen hundred or a thousand dollars a year. Believes the federal government must divide the militia up into 4 grand divisions and appoint a Major General and a Deputy Adjutant General (with the rank of Brigadier General) to each. Also wants an A.D. General to reside at the seat of government. Wants the great officers appointed by the president and paid by the federal government, but the subordinate officers to be appointed and paid by the states. Says some such plan as this will give a respectable and efficient Militia - the present is only a rope of sand.
