Hopes that Lucy will like Mr. Beaumez, her own new husband, at least for her sake. Briefly mentions news about her own children.
Reports that Henry Jackson Knox has returned in perfect health. He was satisfied with his trip to Boston. As Lucy is anxious about his hearing, she reports that I think it is far better than I have known it. Says his hair is long and thick, but she has prevailed upon him to have it cut. Reports that his bed is finished, but that she could not procure any bedding and she wrote to Henry Jackson for help. Says her boys have not yet returned to school since the holidays because of sore throats. Was particularly concerned because of the recent bad weather. Took tea with General Benjamin Lincoln last evening. Claims she is not good at keeping up the politeness necessary to meet new people. Says she is far less happy without Lucy around, but that she is far from unhappy. Talks of her acquaintances. Heard that Bingham and Jackson speak of coming to Hingham.

Says she has been very ill as of late and that her mind was fried from anxiety. Says the weather has been good the past few days and that the roads are probably passable. Wants to get home soon to see her boys. Has heard they are well though. Reports that the boys are happy that the day of exhibition approaches, after which they will have a two week vacation. Believes Henry Jackson will allow Henry Jackson Knox [Henry and Lucy Knox's son] to visit Boston during this time.

Initialed by Flucker. Written to the daughter of Henry and Lucy Knox. Reference's Lucy's letter of 2 April, which was delivered by Catherine Greene's son. Is sad that Henry Knox is ill. Expresses her affection for him. Says she is fatigued and anxious about Madge, whose rheumatism has taken a turn for the worse. Says there did not remain a hope of her surviving each succeeding hour: the Dr. pronounced her disorder past his skill. She suffered for another 12 hours, but upon relieving her Stomach she made a surprising change. Madge is still very ill though. Tell her I hope you have judged enough of my anxiety for my beloved Brothers health to have written by each post.
Discusses her family and how she is happy her sons have recovered from their illness. Also mentions sending something from Worcester to Boston. Date previously inferred, written in pencil.
Writes that she is doing much better, since she was suffering from an illness. Her son was ill as well. Mentions that Henry, presumably Henry Jackson Knox, spent some time with her and is now out with his cousins, though he will be back in time for tea. Gives her love to Lucy and all her family.
Written to Lucy Knox, the daughter of Henry and Lucy Knox. Page two also has an appended note from Henry Jackson Knox, the son of Lucy and Henry. The note is signed by Henry and says love to all. Sarah writes that the family is well. Was shocked to read about the death of Mrs. Lear and her child in the newspaper (a reference to Mary Polly Long Lear, who had married Tobias Lear in 1790, and died in the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia). Says General Jackson delivered her letter of 2 July. Sends news of local engagements.
Recipient inferred. Beaumez writes to her sister, likely Lucy Knox, her sister-in-law. Worries that her daughter, Harriett, has consumption. Thanks Lucy for sending barrels of beef, noting her plans to save the choice cuts for Christmas. Intends to send her daughter to some nearby islands because the doctor informed her that only a change of air and going to sea can improve Harriett's condition. Cannot visit America, as she is bound to care for her ill father. Could not afford to pay a quality artist to create portraits of her family. Notes that her daughter resembles Lucy's sister, Hannah Harwood, who lives in England. Harbors no resentment against Harwood, but claims that Harwood's influence on her mother-in-law, (Hannah Waldo Flucker) before Mrs. Flucker's death persuaded her to exclude Beaumez from her will. Expresses disappointment that Mr. Jackson (possibly Henry Jackson) was included in Mrs. Flucker's will. Comments on family and mutual acquaintances.
Informs her sister-in-law Lucy Knox that she has arrived and is currently settling down with her children. Goes on to discusses the educational opportunities for the children.
