Traveled to Newark with [Euphemia] Ogden and hopes to return with [Catharine?] Greene. Notes that St. John hopes his daughter will return to New York with Knox, but expects Knox will not be able to wait for her. Reports their son, Marcus, "has coughed but once since he left NY..." and Knox's brother William's "face broke yesterday," a reference to William's recent illness accompanied by swelling in the face. Writes, "As for me I have been so long without you that I know not what to think of it and can scarce reallise [sic] you are my husband." Instructs Knox to give their daughter a kiss (possibly referring to Lucy Knox).
