Shaw, Knox's former aide-de-camp, writes a friendly letter to discuss a variety of matters. First, he forwards Mr. Gardiner's oration on the anniversary of independence. If you can travel through so much various matter as it is composed of, it will be a strong proof of your perseverance. References a letter he sent Knox on 1 August, saying that it was written in the bitterness of my soul, and what is worse, a bitterness which still continues; he is having problems settling his father's estate, and is resigned that the outcome will not benefit himself or any of his siblings. Relates some information about a navigation act regarding the British, and hopes Congress will exercise its powers. Finally, discusses a dispute between the towns of Boston and Roxbury, Massachusetts, that has been occurring over the last two weeks, regarding enforcement of an act prohibiting people from riding out on Sundays. Recounts the way the lawyer, Mr. Benjamin Hickbourn [most sources say Hichborn] resolved the dispute with Judge Boardman of Roxbury.

Writes to discuss business endeavors with Knox. Declares that as he has not had a response from Mr. [possibly Robert] Morris in four weeks, he has changed his plans. Instead of remaining in Boston and trying to sell Mr. Morris's teas, which he is holding at 12 per cent higher than the market price, he has asked his brother-in-law, Mr. Parkman, to manage his business affairs and will come to New York to visit Knox and his wife. Has written to Mr. Morris to this effect, and will take passage to New York in four or five days on a ship called Godfrey from Rhode Island. He also wants to hasten his trip because of the arrival of his friend Mr. [Thomas] Randall in Baltimore (see GLC02437.03176). Also adds a note for Mr. [perhaps Samuel] Ogden, explaining that a merchant in Boston has agreed to buy Mr. Ogden's iron.
