Book Description
Marked duplicate. Includes two letters from James Webber, both written from London. In the first letter, in a clerical hand, but initialed by Webber, written on 7 September 1785, Webber outlines his dealings with Knox's brother, William, whom he had cared for when William became mentally unstable. Writes that due to a variety of circumstances, including poor sales of his goods, William became afflicted with a lowness of spirits: and a desire to be alone. Webber took him into his home and helped him prepare to depart for America. Begs Knox to write to him about William's well-being when he arrives. Also, outlines the amount of money William's care cost him, including the charges of Dr. Monro (see GLC02437.03187), which Henry Knox promised Webber he would reimburse him for (see GLC02437.03171). Encloses several letters for Mrs. Lucy Knox from family members (not included). Webber's autograph letter signed from 5 October 1785 explains that he has not heard anything further of the ship carrying William to Boston. Has received a note from the Marquis de Lafayette thanking him for his care of William and asking William to visit him. Relates several financial matters. Reports on seeing relatives of Lucy's, who were in good health. Sends compliments and wishes to hear from them as soon as William has arrived.

Comments that he is very happy to hear William is doing well and that his prospects for recovery are positive.

If William recovers, Knox suggests he stay in New York, with Knox and his wife and children; if he returns while still ill, requests that William return to Boston, as Knox has arranged for his care there. Reaffirms his statement in a previous letter that in case my brothers affairs should be so embarrased as to render him unable to pay the expenses of his confinement, Knox will reimburse Webber for any advances he had to make. Encloses a letter to William, as well as a packet to Mrs. Flucker, his mother-in-law, which he hopes Webber can safely deliver to her. Mrs. Knox sends her regards.
