Handwritten letter to Henry Knox, addressed by Monroe to "The humble Gen'l Knox," in full: "Mr. Monroe's comp'ts to Gen'l Knox—the committee upon the committee upon the subject suggested to him the other day will meet tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the state house I will be happy in the favor of his company—Tuesday evening." In very good to fine condition, with a strip of toning along the top edge and sections of the address panel excised.
