Writes that he has been saying good-bye to some very close friends, evidently Loyalists, who are leaving for England. Asks Knox to protect two ladies, "the two Mrs. Wallaces," whose husbands are among those leaving prior to the evacuation, though they chose to stay: "Those ladies mean to remain in their houses in New York, and must on this occasion feel themselves unprotected, and perhaps may be exposed to insults from the vulgar." Hopes Knox will arrange for their protection during the British evacuation of New York. Sends his greetings to Mrs. Knox and the rest of the family. Watermarked with a crest depicting a hunting horn.
