Expresses concern over Lucy's health as he has heard that she has been unwell. Makes plans to meet up with her and the children in New York City and writes that "I shall be desirous of staying there two days and you will require that time to rest yourself and your little flock." Notes he will leave it to Lucy's discretion of whether she brings their son, Henry Jackson Knox, along, but insists she brings their daughter Julia with her. Asks that she has Henry Jackson accompany her and the children on their journey for safety reasons.
