Contains two letters written on the same date. In the first letter, written to Jefferson, Knox introduces John Coffin Jones "and his Lady." Commends the "honor" and "liberal Fortune" of Jones, a Boston merchant. On verso, Knox informs Jones that he has furnished him with two letters of introduction: one for Jefferson and the other for the Marquis de Lafayette. Hopes Jones and his wife will return from their European excursion "with undiminished affection for your native Country."
