Book Description
Thanks Knox for previous correspondence, and for being the caretaker of her children while they are in America. Discusses land in American inherited from her parents, Hannah and Thomas Flucker. Remarks that a great part of money from the inheritance will go toward Mrs. Harwood, Mrs. Knox and the rest of our Fathers Creditors in England. Hopes Knox will put her inheritance money toward the proper education of her children. Would prefer educating them in the Church, Law, or Physick as opposed to sending them to join the army, though she has army and navy friends who could assist their advancement. Comments that Harriett, possibly her daughter, looks forward to the prospect of going to America to marry Henry's son, also named Henry. Harriet sends one of her flowing locks to Henry, Jr.
