Winslow acknowledges receiving Secretary of War Knox's letter written 14 October. Winslow mentions a controversy between Mrs. Waldo and Us believing that Knox had a conviction either of the policy, or propriety of it. Winslow wishes to find employment but is unable to find anything. No doubt Knox will be ever near the Fountain of Federal business and Winslow hopes to get a position. Says he has not gone to the [Waldo] patent, as Knox wished, due to the hostile disposition of some inhabitants there and his own present embarrass'd condition. Discusses Cox's petition, land sales, and other details related to Knox's land. Complains that the property is depreciating, and that local residents regularly take timber from Knox's land.
