Relates that Catharine Greene, widow of Nathanael Greene, has a petition before Congress requesting an indemnification against debts incurred by Greene during the Revolutionary War. During the war, Nathanael Greene had made a contract with merchant John Banks to supply clothing and provisions for the Southern Army, and Knox seeks to prove Greene was not a business partner with Banks. Says that some have alleged Burnett had evidence of Greene's partnership with Banks, through the papers of his son Ichabod Burnet, who had been Greene's aide during the war. Asks whether he had such evidence, and if Greene truly asked him to destroy it.
