Book Description
Mrs. Beaumez writes to Knox about her sons Francis and Thomas and where their military orders might send them. She hoped they could be both sent to England, but she has heard that Thomas should be with the American convoy and Francis sent to India. Mrs. Beaumez expresses her ardent desire that her sons don't imbibe different Principles and feelings towards that Country which has given them all that they have even had to keep them from Starving. She has been detained in Calcutta and talks about some difficulties she has had getting her letters out to America. Mrs. Beaumez notes, it is strange the prejudice against the Young Americans in this Country.

Remarks that a great part of money from the inheritance will go toward Mrs. Harwood, Mrs. Knox and the rest of our Fathers Creditors in England. Hopes Knox will put her inheritance money toward the proper education of her children. Would prefer educating them in the Church, Law, or Physick as opposed to sending them to join the army, though she has army and navy friends who could assist their advancement. Comments that Harriett, possibly her daughter, looks forward to the prospect of going to America to marry Henry's son, also named Henry. Harriet sends one of her flowing locks to Henry, Jr.
