Later copy of the original. Informs Ogden of the birth of his son, writes that Mrs. Knox desires her affectionate respects to Mrs. Ogden with an earnest request for her appearance here ... States that [t]he new constitution is the domestic want, and a pretty general war the European apprehension. Loving peace as I do I pray sincerely for the new constitution, believing that it will be the only means to keep the ship steady in the rising storm. Perhaps the broils of Europe and an opinion that we may be hurt amid the clashing of arms may have the affect to induce the people of this country to embrace the thing which will secure them against insult. Docket states Copied for Mr. Willard from the Originals in the Collection of Autographs of Ferdinand J. Dreer Esq. of Philada. Nov. 29 1857.

Wants Knox to forward an enclosed letter to William Knox (not included). Has been considering the proposals Knox made to him and he is at a loss of how to decide. Is also at a loss for the very extraordinary refusal of the concerned. Believes Knox acted in friendship, but he can best detest the Men, who so unjustly have availed themselves of an advantage, that as far as I can judge would disgrace an Izrailite. Will not say anything further until he sees Knox, which will be next Saturday.
Ogden says some person, a Country man of yours, stopped by to give their compliments to him, but he was absent. Adds that old Thomas took the message but forgot the name of the visitor. The acquaintance is on his way to Philadelphia. Ogden asks Knox to let me know his name, & tell him I wish to see him. Says their little girl is mending fast.
Wrote to Knox this morning from New York, but has heard news of several misfortunes on his way to Newark, so wanted to write again. Reports that many of their business associates, including Mr. [Walter] Livingston and Mr. [Richard] Platt, are in serious financial difficulty. Visited Mr. [William] Duer to retrieve a note, but Duer told him he paid the note to Mr. [John Marsden] Pintard and thereby settled his account. Will visit Pintard tomorrow to see if this is actually true. Sends love from himself and his wife to Mrs. Knox and the children. Free handwritten on address leaf with no signature.
Writes, We very much lament the occasion which hurryed you by us with out giving us a call, we hope to hear of the recovery of your Child without injury having happened to so precious a member as its Eye. He and his wife look forward to an upcoming visit with Knox and his wife. Writes that he will be leaving from Booneton [Boonton] (in New Jersey) on Monday morning, and while en route will send Knox a letter on the subject of a remittance for one of their business contacts.
