Written from "Spring-hill, near Phila.," likely Springhill, Pennsylvania. Writes to acknowledge Knox's last letter, as well as to introduce him to the bearer, his good friend Mr. Richard Davis. Assures Knox that even though they have not seen each other in a long time, time has not lessened his affection for Knox. Would love to see Knox in person, but does not feel it likely in the near future, due to the considerable distance between them. Discusses news of the European war and the health of their respective families.
