Knox signs with his initials. Knox writes to Lincoln, teacher of his son, Henry Jackson Knox. Is pleased to hear that Levi approves of his son's progress. Has received double pleasure because he knows of Lincoln's character. Tells Lincoln that his future happiness depends on his son's moral impressions. Wants him to be "a man of truth justice candor and humanity, fixed for life to a small farm to the most exalted station." Wants him to accept the enclosed $50 as a token of his respect and gratitude.
