Written by Major General Knox to Colonel Gouvion. Says he was "mortified" that Gouvion did not call on him before leaving. Claims that despite the snub, he "cannot restrain my affection and esteem for you." Asks to be remembered with "pure love," as he will remember him. Wants to hear from him after he arrives in Europe "and you will make me happy"
