Book Description
A letter commenting on Knox's personal finances, especially the disposition of government notes. Peirce references Knox's letter of 3 April. Mentions consolidating old notes and registering new ones. Says his brother William did not consign any goods to him, nor to Colonel Sears. Says I rejoice with you that Peace is again likely to visit our Country - The Contest has been severe, - but it has been short - It has been indeed Glorious - in eight years to effect so great a revolution is more than most sanguine at the commencement could have expected. Says Boston Harbor has appeared dismal for want of Ships. Hopes it will put on its wanted appearance of a Forrest. Says Boston in 1783 when compared to 1774 is miserably poor. Says the New York gentlemen, who have been the most successful of war-time businessmen, are planning on leaving soon. Page 2 gives a breakdown of notes and their interest.

Book Description
Marked Private on address leaf. Says he received Knox's letter of 10 July from the post office after it was too late to answer it. Lists copies of the papers that Mr. Wetmore had in his possession. Says he received 78.19.0 for his Charlestown place. Tells him he is beyond a doubt quite right to conciliate Mr. Thomas & all other even by a sacrifice of some property - especially when there is an object of such magnitude. Mentions he has written Captain [Thomas] Vose several times for the depositions. Heard they may be in the probate office, but he has not received them yet. Notes if Captain John Hills, a surveyor looking for a route from the Connecticut River to Boston, asks for money he will supply it. Will soon deal with the bank shares. Congratulates Knox on the birth of a new daughter. Claims I had no idea of her having had ten children ... a few such families would indeed soon people a Colloney. Says that Henry Jackson hinted he might be in Boston soon.
