Knox's wife, Lucy, reports that Captain Callahan was unable to hire artisans from England: the sentiments of the english are so oppos'd to that class of persons coming out that he feared to make the attempt. Has received no recent news of William Knox, Henry's brother who suffered from mental illness. Mentions an unspecified match, possibly referring to William Knox's courtship of Henry Laurens's daughter (William had lapsed into insanity, and the courtship ended on dramatic, negative terms; refer to GLC02437.03082). Fears that William's malady is too deep for cure. Expresses joy at the safe arrival of Samuel Shaw, who recently returned from Canton (present-day Guangzhou, China). Hopes Knox, Secretary at War, will hire Shaw as an assistant.
