Writes that the Consul of France has asked Breck to enclose a letter for Knox to forward (not present). The Consul is apparently afraid that the letter will be miscarried, so asks if the addressee (a Mr. De Rome) could send his reply via Knox. Relates that his wife, Mrs. Breck, is looking forward to a visit by Mrs. Knox and the children. Explains that the state of Massachusetts is calm at present, and the financial crisis in New York has not extended to his region. Sends his compliments to Henry Jackson, if Jackson is with him.
