| Content Description | References Knox's letters of 18 and 21 December.

Says Henry Jackson Knox spent a few nights with him last week. Heard from Henry's teacher that "he had conducted very well since his return from New York." Sarah Lyons Flucker asked for another 50 dollars, which he sent. That makes $200 since Knox was last in Boston. Says she appears to have a want of economy.
