Written to Lucy Knox, the daughter of Henry and Lucy Knox. Page two also has an appended note from Henry Jackson Knox, the son of Lucy and Henry. The note is signed by Henry and says "love to all." Sarah writes that the family is well. Was shocked to read about the death of Mrs. Lear and her child in the newspaper (a reference to Mary "Polly" Long Lear, who had married Tobias Lear in 1790, and died in the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia). Says General Jackson delivered her letter of 2 July. Sends news of local engagements.
