Signed by Henry Knox, and John Rynier and John Gleason as witnesses. A land bond for Robert Houston, payable to Knox. Houston gave Knox a note for [dollar sign] 290 which is to be paid in three years plus interest for a 100 acre lot in Hancock County, Maine.

Letter is not signed but appears to be in Knox's handwriting. Discusses his settlers land bonds. Says he has agreed with settlers on the plantations in Maine. Also instructs Houston to regulate the inhabitants on Knox's plantations in Maine. Notes he would like Houston to visit the plantation at least once a month. Says his biggest concern is to insure the settlers do not take up any other lots than their original lots. Provides further instructions on what is required of Houston and details regarding the land bonds.

Appears to be a report on the amount of land surveyed at Daniel Dow's lot (likely in Maine) by Houston in past years.
