| Title | Royal Flint to Henry Knox on land in Maine and William Duer's financial crisis |
| Date | 29 March 1792 |
| Author | Flint, Royal (1754-1797) |
| Recipient | Knox, Henry |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Business and financial document |
| Content Description | Has never written to Knox about their land speculation in Maine, as he relied on Mr. [William] Duer to relate his opinions to Knox. Is not sure if Duer and Knox remain close, so he will write to Knox directly. Tells Knox that General [Henry] Jackson is in need of money to complete their land contracts, and that Colonel [Benjamin] Walker may write to him on that subject. Adds that Mr. Duer "proposes to bring forward his Eastern lands as a basis on which to establish a fund to relieve his [poor financial] affairs" and may soon write Knox on the subject. Flint is an endorser of Duer's and is therefore at financial risk himself. Discusses how best to proceed with their monetary concerns. |
