Appears to be fragments of two different letters, written by different people. The first letter, written by an unknown author, to an unknown recipient appears to be 2 pages, with the second part of the letter on the third page. Discusses the abilities and accomplishment of an unnamed man. The second letter is written by Lucy Knox to, presumably, her son, Henry Jackson Knox, regarding family friends. The last part, on the fourth page, appears to be a poem.

Knox, Henry Jackson, 1780-1832
