Writes a distressed letter to Knox on the subject of his investment of 10,000 dollars worth of Knox's notes without his permission.

Expresses his regret that Knox did not come in person, but instead sent his brother William to collect the notes. Writes, The subject, the thought gives me pain- we have been acquainted for years-- excuse me Harry, its too tender a subject.... I wish never to see you-- my love to Lucy and the Children.
