Samuel Winslow To Henry Knox About Bad News And His Lime Business 15 April 1786

Writes that he and the rest of the family are upset by the melancholy information Knox related in a previous letter (this may refer to the death of Hannah Flucker, or our Aunt Flucker, as he refers to her, in 1785). Discusses his upcoming business travels and difficulties related to the lime business. Mentions legal and financial issues relating to the Waldo patent lands, and explains that a Mr. Stone has been hired to conduct a survey of a portion of the lands.
