New York Feb. 4. 1791 [Walter Livingston] Sir I have this day taken the liberty to draw on you in favor of Col. N. Fish for 175 Doll^rs on account of Home Lumber It is seldom so good an opportunity of geting money from Philadelphia offers; I must therefore request you to send me the amount of my Draft by Mr. Fish who will probably return next week. The Collector of Taxes has twice called on me for Taxes that have been due for some time; I directed him to call on Mr. Hoffman, as I had no orders from you to discharge them — Your Hum^e Serv^t Walter Livingston [address panel: The Hon^ble / Major General Knox / Philadelphia]
