Book Description
Jackson, in charge of Knox's financial affairs, mentions the sale of carpets that had been consigned to Knox. Advises Knox to allow his notes to take their chance in the Bank... for to sell them at the present going price (which is very low) would be doing such a great injury to your family that you would forever be unhappy afterwards.

Reports on the financial trouble of other firms. Mentions that Mrs. Swan has received a letter that Knox sent to her husband, Mr. Swan. As Mr. Swan is away, Mrs. Swan acknowledges receipt and sends her love to Mrs. Lucy Knox. Ends the letter affectionately: My best regards to Lucy & your dear little family. I miss you very much. I want you here my dear Harry I want a friend that I can rely on, not a dog to love me. I hope it will be so orderd, that some time or other we shall meet again & live near each other untill the great Trump shall blow & then I am certain we never shall separate.

Discusses a petition before the Massachusetts general court related to Knox's Maine lands. Mentions those who were present for the committee meeting, commenting that Brown is an artfull suttle designing fellow and held on like a bull dog- he made a thousand false representations & told a number of damn'd lies in order to gain his point- Adds that Brown misconstrued dealings between the petitioners and Knox's agent, to call for the humanity & tenderness of the house in behalf of three & four hundred families that lay at your mercy- that was the number he mentioned. Encourages Knox to attend the court in June, writing, your being on the spot to confront those rascals will have more weight in the public mind, than a whole host of the other proprietors... attend to it yourself, if you ever expect to derive any benefit from the patent- or give it up & let it go to the devil- Notes that Thursday's paper contains several proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution. The amendments originated with [Nathan] Dane, [John] Bacon, and [Benjamin] Austin. Jackson declares, they are the heads of the Junto that are endeavoring to distroy & weaken the General Government.
