| Author | Knox, Henry (1750-1806) |

| Content Description | Estimate for expenses from 27 or 28 April to 25 November, although there is no year provided. Hills was doing survey work with the War Department for a canal in Massachusetts in 1793 and later did surveying work for Knox in Maine. It is unclear if Knox was paying Hill for either of these jobs though. Includes costs for Hills himself as well as 5 men who assisted him. Total expenses were $1,341, of which $391 is owed to Hills. Knox wants inquiries to be made if these expenses were properly noted and paid. Asks a series of questions about Hills as well. |
