Samuel Winslow To Henry Knox On Financial Matters 9 March 1793

Notes since receiving Knox's reply (no date given) he has been trying to negotiate a loan upon the strength of my Expectations; not having yet been able to accomplish my purpose. Reports that Henry Jackson encouraged him to make a draft upon Knox. Accordingly he has drawn up a bill for [dollar sign] 250. Will leave another bill for [dollar sign] 250 in the hands of his brother. Has only done this because of the most pressing demands. Will consider the money an advance towards my part of the Consideration money of the patent Contract. Does not think Knox will need the legal paper work for the land as I trust You will be satisfied with our solemn declarations in the premises.
