Written to Lucy Knox, the daughter of Lucy and Henry Knox. Apologizes for the short letter as Mrs. Lincoln is going to Boston "and will call for my Commissions in twenty Minutes." Thanks Lucy for her letter of 28 November. Is happy to report that Harriette is much better, partly because the weather is better and she can get fresh air. Says she is still far from well though. Hoped to spend Christmas in Boston, but cannot "muster resolution to leave home." Docket is in the hand of Lucy Knox, the mother of the recipient.
