Written by Captain Snow of the British 64th Regiment of Foot (Light Infantry) as a POW to Major General Knox. References Knox's letter of 13 June. Thanks him for the letter and says nothing but the critical situation he is in would excuse his troublesomeness. Says "be assured shou'd I even be so unfortunate as to remain prisoner for life, I shall ever remember with the greatest gratitude your civility to me." Tear has been repaired with tape on verso.
