Transfers the papers of his grandfather, Henry Knox to the New England Historic Genealogical Society, of which Wilder is president. Stresses the importance of the collection and lists some conditions. Wants the papers to be "bound in a convenient form for reference as well as preservation," and indexed. Suggests they not be used or reproduced until this happens. Notes the George Washington letters are separated and should be kept in a fire proof safe. Does not want the papers to be removed form the Society for any reason.
