Mentions that since Knox's last letter, he has been very sick and therefore unable to conduct business. Reminds Knox that in a previous letter, he enclosed a statement from Colonel [William Stephens] Smith. Apparently sends condolences to Knox and his wife, likely for the recent deaths of two of Knox's children.
