Henry Jackson To Henry Knox Discussing The Federal Elections 28 December 1788

Addresses letter to My dear Harry. Writes about a severe snow storm, the most of any we have had this winter - for ten days past, we have had the severest cold Season, known for many years. Goes on to discuss the Federal elections. Notes that Mr. Ames will gain a seat by only a small margin, not the large majority that Jackson expected. Says most believe Mr. [Elbridge] Gerry will be chosen by Middlesex. Sends his love to Knox's family. Watermarked L Paine.
