Letter is unsigned; may be a page missing. Text loss on much of the document. Discusses a variety of subjects, including the pleasure Knox takes in his friendship with Lincoln: from the "first moment I have had the happiness of being acquainted you I conceived a high degree of friendship, which has uniformly increased, as I became more intimate." Values Lincoln's friendship "in all events of grief or joy," more than any other man. Also discusses the subject of half-pay for soldiers. GLC02437.01754 is a later copy of the entire letter.
