ALS signed “H. Knox,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 9, December 8, 1785. Letter to James Webber, in part: "My brother has been with me about twenty days, and is in every respect thank heaven precisely as I could wish. It was his full intention to have written you, amply by this occasion, but being yesterday seized with a violent head ache and slight fever, the consequence of a sudden cold, he is unavoidably prevented…The French Consul has gone to Europe but Mr. Richard Soderstrom is the Swedish Consul and resides here. The bill being forwarded to me…I believe I should be able to recover." He goes on to discuss further business arrangements, and notes: "Mrs. Knox unites with me in presenting our affectionate compliments." In very good to fine condition, with scattered staining, trimmed bottom edge affecting some of the text, and toning and partial separation to the hinge.
