Book Description
Expresses his happiness on hearing about Mr. [Samuel] Ogden bringing Broome & Platt matters to a speedy issue... Writes that [i]t gives me very great pleasure in hearing that Mr. W. Knox is so well in health and spirits, and that he is satisfied in being out of Trade; as I am very sure his present situation is far preferable to an uncertain profit in the awkward state Mercantile affairs are at this period, as goods, are selling (many sorts) at New York, Boston and other parts of America for ready Money full as [Con], as Merchants can be serv'd, who take the full Credit of 12 or 14 months, consequently whoever Trades with a [for all] Capital, and on Credit, is laboring to a very great disadvantage. I much hope things will in time take a favorable turn, but America must act prudently, or it will never be truly independent, being harras'd from time to time by her English Creditors, which is yet compleatest bondage a people can experience. Also discusses how Europe is unsettled and the Dutch are fighting amongst themselves.

Book Description
Marked duplicate. Includes two letters from James Webber, both written from London. In the first letter, in a clerical hand, but initialed by Webber, written on 7 September 1785, Webber outlines his dealings with Knox's brother, William, whom he had cared for when William became mentally unstable. Writes that due to a variety of circumstances, including poor sales of his goods, William became afflicted with a lowness of spirits: and a desire to be alone. Webber took him into his home and helped him prepare to depart for America. Begs Knox to write to him about William's well-being when he arrives. Also, outlines the amount of money William's care cost him, including the charges of Dr. Monro (see GLC02437.03187), which Henry Knox promised Webber he would reimburse him for (see GLC02437.03171). Encloses several letters for Mrs. Lucy Knox from family members (not included). Webber's autograph letter signed from 5 October 1785 explains that he has not heard anything further of the ship carrying William to Boston. Has received a note from the Marquis de Lafayette thanking him for his care of William and asking William to visit him. Relates several financial matters. Reports on seeing relatives of Lucy's, who were in good health. Sends compliments and wishes to hear from them as soon as William has arrived.
