Mrs. Beaumez writes to Knox about her sons Francis and Thomas and where their military orders might send them. She hoped they could be both sent to England, but she has heard that Thomas should be with the American convoy and Francis sent to India. Mrs. Beaumez expresses her ardent desire that her sons don't "imbibe different Principles and feelings towards that Country which has given them all that they have even had to keep them from Starving." She has been detained in Calcutta and talks about some difficulties she has had getting her letters out to America. Mrs. Beaumez notes, "it is strange the prejudice against the Young Americans in this Country."
