Since arriving in Philadelphia, has tried to gather a party of about 30 artificers to give to Greene. Discusses Mrs. Greene's trip with their son George Washington Greene to visit Greene at the high hills of Santee (the Santee River in South Carolina, where Greene was stationed). Also mentions the recent birth of a son to him and Mrs. Knox, whom I should name after you were not for the confounded name given by your [illegible] father - as it is I shall call him after some roman whose character I think you may like (possibly referring to his son Marcus). Sends love to Colonel Williams and Colonel Laurens.

General Nathanael Greene writes, I thank you for the public attention you are paying to my public Trophies; but I have been so embarrassed and perplexed in my private affairs for a long time past which originated in the progress of the War that I have but little spirit or pleasures on such subjects.

Next to the docket is a note in Knox's hand which reads: This is the last letter I ever received from my truly beloved friend Genl Greene.
