| Content Description | Tells Knox that he referred a friend, Hugh Knox, to him for the purpose of obtaining subscriptions for his upcoming publication of religious essays. Although Fletcher feels that the world has enough of such treatises, he thinks it may be of use to local readers, one-hundred of which have already subscribed. Offers sympathy for "the new measures pursued by great Britain," in reference to the Boston Port Bill. Hugh Knox's letter to Henry Knox on the subject was written on 4 July 1774 (see GLC02437.00161). |
