| Author | Morris, Gouverneur (1752-1816) |
| Recipient | Knox, Henry |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Business and financial document |
| Content Description | Must decline Knox's offer to participate in a business deal. Explains that the need for him to decide on the matter immediately makes him reluctant to agree. Also argues, "[t]o hold a small Share is not worth our while, to hold a large one, say 1/2 or 3/4, might prove inconvenient." Might consider participating if an opportunity arises at a later date. Noted as private. See GLC02437.03686 for Knox's offer to Morris. |
