| Content Description | Wants Knox to forward an enclosed letter to William Knox (not included). Has been considering the proposals Knox made to him and he is at a loss of how to decide. Is also at a loss "for the very extraordinary refusal of the concerned." Believes Knox acted in friendship, but he "can best detest the Men, who so unjustly have availed themselves of an advantage, that as far as I can judge would disgrace an Izrailite." Will not say anything further until he sees Knox, which will be next Saturday. |
