Initialed by Flucker. Written to the daughter of Henry and Lucy Knox. Reference's Lucy's letter of 2 April, which was delivered by Catherine Greene's son. Is sad that Henry Knox is ill. Expresses her affection for him. Says she is fatigued and anxious about Madge, whose rheumatism has taken a turn for the worse. Says there did not remain a hope of her surviving each succeeding hour: the Dr. pronounced her disorder past his skill. She suffered for another 12 hours, but upon relieving her Stomach she made a surprising change. Madge is still very ill though. Tell her I hope you have judged enough of my anxiety for my beloved Brothers health to have written by each post.

Mrs. Beaumez writes her niece Lucy Knox. She says her last letter were dismal because here health and spirits were bad. Now they are well.

Mrs. Beaumez says she will soon be traveling to the country 100 miles from Calcutta.

Written to Lucy Knox, the daughter of Lucy and Henry Knox. Apologizes for the short letter as Mrs. Lincoln is going to Boston and will call for my Commissions in twenty Minutes. Thanks Lucy for her letter of 28 November. Is happy to report that Harriette is much better, partly because the weather is better and she can get fresh air. Says she is still far from well though. Hoped to spend Christmas in Boston, but cannot muster resolution to leave home. Docket is in the hand of Lucy Knox, the mother of the recipient.
