Writes to Lucy Knox, daughter of Henry and Lucy Knox. Received no letter from Lucy and fears she is angry. References a letter from Mrs. Kerby from Antigua, and sends it to Lucy for her amusement (see GLC02437.05882). Asks Lucy to send some muslin for handkerchiefs. Mentions her children and various family members. Is thankful that Henry Knox has recovered. Has heard Lucy is fat and tall now and "I expect to be a shrimp by you." Says Madge is still confined to her room. Has written to Antigua for another servant and means to send her back before next winter.
