Knox declares that the only news he has heard of Greene, the son of General Nathanael Greene, is from the son of Mr. [J. Hector] St. John de Crevecoeur, who is at school with Greene. Encourages him to study diligently, and reminds him of his father, General Greene, "who by the force of his own talents became so dear and so important to his Country - That you are to qualify yourself by your education to support his name, and so become the protector of your family." Reminds him to listen well to the Marquis de Lafayette, under whom he is studying. Provides him news on Greene's mother, Catharine, and brother, Nathanael. Knox's retained draft.
