Appears to be a draft of an agreement between Henry Knox, William Bingham, and Joseph Anthony and his firm. The agreement possibly involves lands in Maine and the sale prices of the lands. Date was added later in pen but appears to be taken from the content of letter written at the end of the last page.

Writes that he has tried to make an arrangement with Mr. [William] Bingham regarding money each of them owes. Relates the plan he suggested to Bingham, but says that Bingham will not accept the plan and help relieve him of his burthen. Hopes Knox might help convince Bingham to agree to a more suitable arrangement.

Largely illegible, with large portions struck and rewritten. Discusses a financial arrangement Anthony suggested to Knox's business agent, William Bingham. Bingham did not agree to the arrangement, leaving Anthony in a dire situation. Knox is mortified that Bingham refused and discusses possible solutions to the problem.

Discusses reactions to a treaty, possibly Jay's Treaty, as well as a war in Europe.
