Notes that John Stevens received from Henry Knox the sum of one hundred dollars in part of rent of my fathers House in the Broad Way.

Document contains three portions. The first, directed to Henry Knox from Richard Platt, asks whether Knox can spare any of the money he keeps in his bank account for the next week. Asks that if he can, he should send it with the bearer of the letter, Richard Smith. Below this is a receipt, signed by Richard Smith, certifying that Knox gave Smith, as an agent for Platt, one thousand dollars on 7 May 1789. The third section, signed by Knox and dated 4 June 1789, certifies that Knox received 500 dollars from Smith on behalf of Platt.

This book assesses the rebellion in relation to interregional tensions, international diplomacy, frontier expansion, republican ideology and the social and political conflict of the l780s -1790s.
