Initialled by Flucker. Written to the daughter of Henry and Lucy Knox. Reference's Lucy's letter of 2 April, which was delivered by Catharine Greene's son. Is sad that Henry Knox is ill. Expresses her affection for him. Says she is fatigued and anxious about Madge, whose rheumatism has taken a turn for the worse. Says "there did not remain a hope of her surviving each succeeding hour: the Dr. pronounced her disorder past his skill." She suffered for another 12 hours, but upon "relieving her Stomach" she made a surprising change. Madge is still very ill though. Tell her "I hope you have judged enough of my anxiety for my beloved Brothers health to have written by each post."
