From Archive Folder | The Henry Knox Papers [0075] May-August 1785 |
Title | Henry Knox to William Shepard regarding the payment Shepard is owed by Colonel Pickering |
Date | 10 August 1785 |
Author | Knox, Henry (1750-1806) |
Recipient | Shepard, William |
Document Type | Correspondence; Military document |
Content Description | Signature has been clipped. Informs Shepard that his endeavors to get payment for a note have been unsuccessful, as "Colonel Pickering informs that he has not any funds for the notes of the time and that it is uncertain when he shall have them." He therefore has the "mortifying necessity" of enclosing the note to Captain Twogood [perhaps Captain William Toogood] rather than the money, but he hopes he can serve Shepard more successfully sometime in the future. |
