Henry Jackson To Henry Knox Regarding A Land Transaction 3 March 1793

Signed and initialed by Jackson. References a previous letter of Knox's (no date). Says the enclosed letter should be delivered by Knox to William Bingham (not included). States no time is to be lost if Bingham is to buy the tract mentioned in his letter of 10 February. Believes there are people who know of their situation and want to speculate on it. State he is happy that Knox bought out the Winslow's interest in the Waldo patent. Says I please myself the moment the Indian War is at an end, that your whole exertion will be to that point [dealing with the patent], in order to make a lasting and sure establishment for your family. Notes he would like to spend the next ten years of his life in the Eastern lands promoting their settlement. Goes on to say that he would have no objection to going to Europe to promote the lands either. Says it would be enjoyable for him to go to Europe as he could see his sister, whom I have not seen for near twenty years. Hopes he has compromised with Madame de Leval.
