Knox,” one page both sides, 8 x 10.5, October 26, 1789. Letter to Messrs. Samuel and John Smith, in part: "I enclose you a copy of my letter by the Schooner Sincerity Capt. White which sailed from this post yesterday, but probably she reached no further than Sandy Hook as the wind is contrary. The Sloop Cato has not yet sailed, but will sail the first wind…I shall be obliged by being informed of the precise time of the arrival of said vessels—whether the clothing is received in good order, and the time of its setting out from Baltimore for Fort Pitt." In fine condition, with trivial loss to the lower left corner tip.
